Im having troubles uploading to my brand new seeduino.
I beleive my drivers are correct as i can see the USB Serial port (COM 5) appear when i plug in my seeeduino. I select the approriate port (COM 5) and board ATmega1280 yet i still get this error.
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
I have tried reseting before, after, during and many times when uploading to no avail. I have turned off all firewalls aswell.
Upon reset lights flash suggesting there is a bootloaded but...
I read somewhere ATmega (thus seeeduino) do not come with bootloaded, and i have a feeling on first few upload attempts i had the board set incorrectly so may have put the wrong bootloader on it.
Does this sound resonable? If so how can i check ?
The Seeeduino has a auto-reset on or off switch, are you sure it's in the enabled positon?
I have a seeeduino mega board and it comes with a bootloader and has always worked fine.
Also in the IDE make sure you are selecting the mega 1280 board type.
When on the manual setting your sketch doesn't reset when software on the PC opens a serial connection. If you have a long running sketch that you want to monitor from the PC (logging data etc) you don't want it to reset everytime you run something that talks to is.
