Atmega 328P communication problem

Help & Support Robot Parts

Hello Everyone,

I am very new to programming micro controllers and still learning. I bought this item; amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 … UTF8&psc=1

it has Atmega 328P chip, I build the circuit as in the web site and it worked well. It has a blink example built in already.

Anyway, I decided to change the program inside the chip so I bought this item; amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01 … UTF8&psc=1

then, I followed the instructions on this; youtube.com/watch?v=sNIMCdVOHOM&t=480s

There are 2 pictures in the attachment. I tried almost everything but I couldn’t manage to get it done. The port of the cable is right, I checked it from device manager and it says FTDI. The selected board on the software is arduino uno. I am suspicious of this selection but it should be arduino uno.

I connected tx to rx and rx to tx and connected 5v and gnd and dt to pin 1 through 100nf capacitor. but it keeps giving me this error;

Please help, I got stuck :frowning:

Hello bdaouas,

Thank you for your reply. However on both links the problem seems to be the capacitor that is not properly connected.
Have a look at the attached picture please.
I am 100% sure about the capacitor, I even tried with different 100nf capacitors, just to check the capacitor that I choose is working or not.

Hi,

Unfortunately, we don’t offer support for custom projects/designs. Maybe someone from the community will provide insight about this.
