I recently purchased the "Sunfounder Sensor Kit v2.0 for Arduino" which was to include an Arduino Uno R3 compatible microcontroller.
It will not load sketches I load to my arduino; as a matter of fact it will not load sketches received for the Sunfounder version either.
I suspect a problem with the upload. How do I correct it? Bootloader??? If so, how do I do it; I selected bootloader from the menu and it, to the best of my knowledge, did not work.
I am old enough to know better than to go 3rd party.
The included Arduino clone might use the CH340 chipset which is not included when you install the IDE. There are posts in the troubleshooting section with links.
Which OS? For Windows, what does the device manager say when you connect the clone? Any yellow triangles?
I am using Windows 7.
The copy error message reads: "error while burning bootloader
Forgot to mention the the "blink" sketch works fine on the clone AND no yellow triangles.
Did you upload that blink sketch or is it the pre-installed one?
It's my understanding that you have two Unos. Did you select the correct COM port in the IDE?
