So I'm working on a board based on 2560 Mega, and was setting up a 16 relay board, my screen went white and now I get a time out error when I try to load the sketch, did I do something wrong?
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer
Like I said I am new with this and hope I did not just kill a 200 dollar board.
my screen went white
What screen?
did I do something wrong?
I'm going to guess, here. I guess you did.
Sounds like you poked something somewhere it didn't belong.
so I got it back but still not sure what happened with it, I am working with a board based on 2560 Mega, I am also very new to this sort of thing as well. The developer of the board was able to help me recover with issue so I think it is some thing that he ran into before.

could you tell us how you got it back? Your experience could prove valuable to others encountering similar issues.
I actually followed some of the advice from others on the forum who had the same issues.
can I post photos of my project on here so people can see what I am working with, and also I have some questions for some of the users that are a little more advanced than I.
can I post photos of my project on here
Sure. Pictures are great.

It would be moderately interesting to know what this advice is, but since we don't know what the board is, perhaps not.
Look, if you are going to post about "a board", "the sketch", you did "something" to fix the problem, and you followed "some of the advice" on how to fix it, maybe I should move this post to the "I ain't gonna tell you nothing" part of the forum?

[/quote]It did strike me as an "I'm alright jack" attitude. Rather disappointing.
As before mentioned I am new to this I apologize for the lack of information, for a moment I thought I was dealing with a group that could help, any how as I said in #3 the board is based on 2560 mega, what had happend, I hooked a 16 relay board to the built in db 25 port and all the relays came on at the same time. From what I can figure it was too much current for the boad. The board it's self is a ferduino aquarium controller, specs can be found at ferduino.com.

But you managed to solve the problem?
... for a moment I thought I was dealing with a group that could help ...
So did I.
Hello guys!
This problem was solved in my forum.
This problem happens because the board have the TX0 and RX0 used as OUTPUT.
So is needed remove a jumper before to try send a code as explained here: Ferduino Aquarium Controller • View topic - Details about Ferduino Mega 2560.
Best regards.
Fernando Garcia
Thanks for the clarification.
Thank you. That's really interesting.
Thank you Fernando I was looking for the root cause on your forum so I could clarify, but you beat me too it. I guess my previous should have been stated with some help rather than I figured it out.
