Arduino must hate me. I’ve loaded libraries, connected all servos , batteries, jumpers, etc … and avr dude laughs at me.
Help

Did you select the board type as Duemilanove and also USB connection?

  1. The BotBoarduino is based on the Arduino Duemilanove. In the Arduino programming environment you
    must select “Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328”. Simply plug a USB Mini cable from this plug to a
    free USB port on your PC for programming the processor and receiving debug information. For help with
    USB drivers, go to the official Arduino page. To prevent damaging the board’s USB port, you must
    remove the USB cable from a MOBILE robot!

  2. These four pins are connected to the FTDI’s CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI signals. You should never have to
    worry about these pins. Use them only if you know what you’re doing as these pins can prevent the
    BotBoarduino from being programmed.

  3. This is a Power Good LED. When you have successfully applied power to the onboard regulator, the
    yellow LED will turn on.

  4. This shorting bar enables the onboard speaker. To use the speaker, send the appropriate sound generating
    command to Pin 5. Note, the I/O pin drives a transistor amplifier. It does not drive the speaker directly.

  5. The 3 LEDs and Pushbuttons use only 3 I/O lines to make a simple user interface for your program. By
    making the I/O line a low output the LED can be turned on. By briefly making the I/O line an input the
    I/O line can be read to see if a button is being pressed. However, do NOT make the I/O line a high output
    and press a button, as damage to the I/O pin can occur.The shorting bars directly above JA, JB, and JC
    will need to be installed for these LEDs and Pushbuttons to be used.

Thank you for replying, I have moved to another computer that has less programs and junk on it.
Trying to upload ps2 example I get error
“avr-g–: error: missing filename after ‘-o’”
Exit status 1
FIXED BY DOWNLOADING NEW ARDUINIO IDE FROM 1.6 TO 1.8

Yes I’ve selected the board and 328 chip, I dont understand coding.
I figure if I just tried a simple example that it might simplify things for me but ugh. Lol

Have you had any luck communicating with the board and running simple code?

Yes, thank you for checking back. It turns out my arduino ide version was full of glitches. No matter what I tried to compile and upload would give me errors. Soo I gave up on my botboarduino and used an arduino mega adk I had sitting around. I found this very easy to follow Instructables by davidhend
https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Mega-Hexapod/ with a new arduino idk version 0021
It got me up and running

I’m currently waiting for 12 hitec 645mgs to arrive from robotshop :+1:.
The ebay mg996s dont seem to cut it.
I wish I could afford dynamixels or robotis servos.
Once again thanks

No worries, we all come here to learn and share.
