Boot problem?

Just got my new BotBoarduino.

Added power, USB, it flashes it’s ABC LEDs. USB port assigned.

Set com port UNO type

driver is: FTDIBUS\VID_0403+PID_6001+A4VBKPCPA\0000

I have a working UNO program which I attempted to download (0022). Says done. Program did not get downloaded, ABC LEDs still flash. Tried with Arduino 1.0. Still no success.

Swapped BB chip into UNO, can’t program it there either. UNO chip in BB runs my program. Tried to program in BB, message avrdude: stk500_getsync(); not in sync: resp=0x00

UNO chip still runs my program, but now can’t be programmed in either (can’t program BB chip in UNO either).

Message from program displays on Arduino terminal.

Put parts back, UNO chip programs and runs in UNO, BB “test” program runs in BB.

What gives? Bad boot loader on BB chip?

Uno32 has different boot loader as it uses a separate AVR chip as the USB to serial converter. The Botboarduino uses an FTDI chip. For this one you should choose the board type of: Arduino Duemilanove Atmega 328 item in the Tools\board list as it was also Atmega328 based with FTDI.

Yeah, that did it!

I was using an FTDI driver, and could talk to the terminal.

Was that info in the build185 tutorial? I musta missed it!

Thanks!

Looks like we kinda left that information out… It will be fixed today :laughing:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Sorry about that - I’ve edited build185 to add this info in.
