when i turn on the arduino the green led "on" it's work. and led of pin 13 "L" blinking but after that the light of "L" led become so low ( but when i press rest button is blinking by full light but after that light become low again )
pin 1 "tx" is \HIGH but Tx&RX led is off and all pins is low expect 5v pins , vin and 1 "tx"
when i upload a new code i got this message
"
the selected serial port does not exist or your board is not connected
I want to control 18 servos (i making hexapod robot) but the board has 14 "I was thought it 15 i counted pin 13 as PWM" X_X ! . So i need 3 more ( remember i counted pin 13) so i wrote a sketch that define pins from 2 to 13 and 44,45 and 46 as PWM (by using Servo.h library) and i connected it with another Arduino (Uno) ( 40,41,42 as o/p on Mega with 2,4,8 as i/p on Uno ) as parallel 3-bit communication (by this way i can control other 3 on uno board by 8 state. ex 000=state_one, 001=state_two ..).
and i use bluetooth module to control the system by send "number" from android phone
each number symbolize a mode(state) on sketch (like 1=walking forward, 2=walking backward,..etc)
but i made also three pins (30,31,32) to control the system for testing if bluetooth isn't work
so i made pin 33 as switch when it's high "system work by the three pins" when it's low "system work by bluetooth"
i uploaded the sketch without problem but i forgot to define pin 33 as input. So i edited the code but when i try to upload it's failed
i known why the led "L" light becomes low >>> it is the PWM.
and i think the pin 0 and 1 are the reason!
Reference > Language > Functions > Communication > Serial
"On Uno, Nano, Mini, and Mega, pins 0 and 1 are used for communication with the computer. Connecting anything to these pins can interfere with that communication, including causing failed uploads to the board."
because i use pin 0 and 1 as serial communication for Bluetooth module
I'm right?
*I've connected the arduino to the circuit and it's work. but i still have the USB problem (i can't upload a new sketch)
the sketch is the reason?
first part of the sketch :
#include <Servo.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
//define three pins for commenication between UNO and Mega to control RS1,RS2,RS3
#define S0 30
#define S1 31
#define S2 32
#define rem0 40
#define rem1 41
#define rem2 42
#define oprem 43
SoftwareSerial Bluetooth(0, 1); // Arduino(RX, TX) - HC-06 Bluetooth (TX, RX)
// Create servo object
Servo LL1,LL2,LL3,LM1,LM2,LM3,LS1,LS2,LS3,RL1,RL2,RL3,RM1,RM2,RM3; //define variables for 15 servo in Arduino Mega
int dataIn=0,m=0,st=0;
Oh guys thank you !
I solved the problem, even it's not a problem
I forgot to select the port of arduino mega. when I connect the uno is was already selected.... that's why
thank you Pert and Dmjlambert
