Spider Controller Board Problems

wendell · July 5, 2013, 3:34am

Powered Using USB port on PC (uploading Blink Sketch on Arduino IDE) with nothing connected other than a mini USB to the PC

Spider Board Clearly has ATmega 1280 chip (Written on the chip)

FTDI Seems to have no problem according to loop back test instruction

Reset Button doesn't seem to do anything

L2 LED is always lit up (bright)

When uploading: (both on arduino ide 1.0.5 and 0022) Arduino Mega ATmega 1280 Board Selected

L1 blinks once (dimly)

L4 blinks trice (dimly)

When uploading: (both on arduino ide 1.0.5 and 0022) Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK Board Selected

L1 blinks once (dimly)

L4 blinks once (dimly)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Arduino IDE 1.0.5 (Blink Sketch)

Correct Port Selected

Arduino Mega ATmega 1280 Board Selected

Error:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Arduino IDE 1.0.5 (Blink Sketch)

Correct Port Selected

Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK Board Selected

Error: (Takes a long time to output the error)

avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Arduino IDE 0022 (Blink Sketch)

Correct Port Selected

Arduino Mega ATmega 1280 Board Selected

Error:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Arduino IDE 0022 (Blink Sketch)

Correct Port Selected

Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK Board Selected

Doesn't Stop Uploading (taking too long)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

All my Arduino Products uploads normally.

Tried on 2 different Computers with the same error.

I have tried Burning bootloader

Using Arduino uno r3 as ISP (Made sure it is connected Properly)

Error:

1st Burn avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

2nd and succeeding burn avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature. Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check.

Doesn’t work, thanks anyway.

Assuming you’re using

Assuming you’re using Windows, I would try to uninstall then reinstall the Mega driver (2560 and 1280 use the same driver). It is separate from the UNO. (at least in the version I have.) Hope this helps.
