Programming a standalone Arduino with a MAX232

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hi, Guys,

I have a standalone arduino running with a MAX232 that works when I test it with a pre-compiled sketch. If i type something in the serial monitor it prints it back to me. However, when I try to program the chip it doesn't work it says this:

Binary sketch size: 4,464 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please see the attached photo.

In other words, you loaded the sketch while the chip was in an Arduino UNO board.

It's missing the reset circuit. RTS on the RS-232 port goes to the second RS-232 receiver on the MAX232, the output of that receiver goes via a 0.1­­µF capacitor to the reset line of your ATmega.

Thank you for your reply.

That is what I needed to know.

Thanks,
