Hello everyone
I have managed to compile one of my pieces of software that worked. I had to move some functions so that they are ahead of the calling statements but nevertheless it compiles.
The problem I am having is flashing the Auriga with the image. The uploader fails to set the baud rate.

Its a 328 Robin but not sure which one and it also looks like it uses a CH340 for USB.
Also come as a SHIELD or a board but currently not enough Info to say what why where etc.

Just had a play with the official DRIVER and its a bit iffy on win 7 x64 to say the least.
Looks like an interesting concept board but actual tech details are a bit random.
Sort of a UNO with some sensors and coloured phone connectors tagged on.
EDIT that one also says there is a MEGA version so could be either.

spycatcher2k:
What is an Auriga ? What does it have to do with Arduino?
It is compatible with a Mega 2560, Mega 2560 ADK or simply a MEGA with the name of the usb port [ch340g]. In fact it is only the last in the list that is not recognised.. So ArduinoDriod must know the board is there it seems to be having problems changing the baud rate.

There are no "OFFICIAL" arduino drivers from Arduino for the board.
However I did provide a link to the OFFICIAL chinese ones that almost everybody uses for the CH340/341 based USB.
You could be better off with those and they should certainly not harm.
There should be no need to change baud rates as once the IDE has the proper driver installed it will know what to do and expect.
If you have made any manual changes to the IDE or your OS baud rates you may want to revert those back.
Makeblock simply added thier name to the CH drivers which means all my CH based boards read as MAKER etc....
Another reason to use the official Chinese ones is that the maker ones are quite old ( 2011 ) compared to at least 2014 from the Chinese ones.
Bit of a cheapo response to making the drivers look like they were theirs.
The OFFICIAL CH drivers will look like this in device manager

OK so you want detail and example code here we go...
First I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with android 9 and the up to date ArduinoDroid. The Auriga is set as a MEGA 2560 or MEGA ADK. If I set MEGA CH340G ArduinoDroid simply says it does not recognise the board the other setting it does.
Compiling is fine but when I attempt to download ArduinoDroid reports 'error : cannot change the baud rate' or to be more specific
'overriding baud rate :: 115200'
'failed to set baud rate :: -9'
You wanted to see example code, here it is.

Arduino droid is nothing at all to do with the Arduino organisation.
You may get lucky and find somebody here who has a little knowledge but that is a "third part" application.
Your query is better suited to thier support forum.
Arduinos own software that is supported very well is listed HERE
