Hello.
I'm new here.
I have xp-lap-top and win98. On xp works Decimila well. At 98 no connection to the board from run.bat. Diodes TX and RX flashes during boot the machine. USB Camera, GPS, printer works find on both machines.
At 98 flashes and jumps around a program cc1plus, CC1, as. error;
Binary sketch size: 1124 bytes (of a 14336 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync (): not in sync: resp = 0x30
avrdude: stk500_disable (): protocol error, expect = 0x14, resp = 0x51
On 98 i have com1 and com4 from tools.
My level is "blinking".
Decimila works fine on xp-pc. On another PC-with 98 dont. On 98-pc kan i se driver (in Win) namet FTDI on conection with the board.
The board blinking on the program from xp-pc. So USB works. Win98 sad that it is MP3 driver ????
on Win98, you need to scope on FTDI driver COM number limitation.
Java runtime (which Arduino run on) can't see COM port more than 5 on Win98, WinMe
Check on
Control Panel -> System ->open Device Manager tab -> expand Port group, must see USB Serial Device
Right mouse click to property
and select Port Setiing tab -> click Advanced...
change COM number within 1-5 and change Latency as low as posible (1 ms)
then OK -> OK and try upload Arduino again..
if above is OK,
It's cause from PATH and JAVA environment can't be by run.bat..
you need to modified your AUTOEXEC.BAT and add PATH and JAVA home setting which Arduino needed..
