Hello,
This is a brand new Arduino Mega 2560 that is taken off the box. I tried to upload BLINK and got this (the "Uploading" msg is there for a very long time):
Sketch uses 1,518 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 253,952 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 8,183 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 8,192 bytes.
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0174
0x00 != 0x80
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch
I tried to upload a very simple sketch: "Serial.begin(9600);" in the setup function and then "Serial.println("1234"); in the loop, and then some delay, and it again gave a bit different thing:
Build options changed, rebuilding all
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000
0x00 != 0x72
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch
I am not familiar with this system, this is a brand new device and I am a newbie with it.
Does someone know what to do? I saw discussions on burning a new bootloader, I am not sure if I need to do it at all... and if so then how?
Thanks,
Max.
