I am using the arduino ide. I tried several different versions but all give the same error. The board is listed in my device manager under ports silicon labs cp210x usb to uart bridge (com4). I am selecting mega 2560 as board type since this is the newer spider board. On the board the blue power led is on but none of the others light up. The error message when attempting to upload a sketch is as follows:
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage():=timeout<br></div><div>avrdude:
stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer
How can I get the board running. I have yet to use it. Also the support link supplied by dagu on lets make robots is outdated."https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/26054" and "https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/25923" Also the email link for support on the dagu site is a faulty address - [email protected] - does not work. Anybody who knows how to contact the dagu support staff please let me know.
