We are working on cloned design of Arduino Mega 2560 Rev 3 Board for voltage monitoring application. We are able to flash the “Arduino-usbserial-mega.hex” on ATMega16U2 and able to detect as USB- Serial Adaptor. Also Burn Bootloader got successfully on Mega2560 using another Arduino Mega board as ISP. When we try to upload a sketch through the port linked to ATMega16U2, observed errors and upload got failed. Since this port is not working, we had to upload the sketch through ICSP Header using another Arduino Mega board as ISP and upload is completed without any errors. The communication between ATMEGA16U2 & Host Laptop and ATMega2560 & Laptop through FT232RNQ seems to be fine. Looks like communication between ATMega16U2 & ATMega2560 is having issue. Is there any option to enable USB in arduino2560 to upload sketches through it. Please suggest. ---

It would be useful if you could provide the complete error message. Please enable _verbose output during upload_ and disable _verbose output during compilation_, perform an upload and post the output here using code tags (see [How to get the best out of this forum](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/how-to-get-the-best-out-of-this-forum/679966)). > [@rleelaprasad](#): > > The communication between ATMEGA16U2 & Host Laptop ... seems to be fine. How did you come to that conclusion?

I'm not sure if I understand; the 2560 processor does not have USB functionality. If your FT232 provides a DTR output, you can use the FT232 instead of the 16U2; connect it to the Tx/Rx and reset pin of the 2560. Note that you need to have the current limiting resistors between the Tx/Rx of the 16U2 and the Rx/Tx of the 2560 in place (RN4A and RN4B in the reference design). ---

ATMega16U2 USB Port is detecting on Host laptop as a COM Port. we are able to get the data from 2560 Serial port (RXD1 & TXD1) when we upload our sketch through ICSP header. Are there any fuse settings to be done to enable USB Sketch upload ---

AS requested, copy the compile error messages to the clipboard and post as it is displayed in code tags. As it stands, no one knows where the error messages begin/end and your comments on whta you think is wrong, begin/end. ---

We will try loop back test once. And we have tried both "Arduino-usbserial-mega.hex " and "Arduino-usbserial-atmega16u2-Mega2560-Rev3.hex" but both are not working. Please share us the Hex file so that we can try that. Also It is not detecting as "Arduino Mega" in device manager. It is detecting as USB Serial Device. Also could you please let us the know difference between "Arduino-usbserial-atmega16u2-Mega2560-Rev3.hex" and "Arduino-COMBINED-dfu-usbserial-atmega16u2-Mega2560-Rev3.hex" as both are different in size. ---
