Hi Everybody. Im stuck on a Basic Atom Pro problem that I had before when I was testing it out. When I first ran the sample programs and the part where you have to Find the Atom Pro I was not able to. It ended up being the wrong USB cable which I switched to FTDI and that fixed it. Well now Im having the same problem, clicking on Find Atom Pro, and not finding it. I clicked on Advanced to Adjust the Reset Hold Time, started at 5 to 50 then stopped. Does anybody have suggestions of what it might be besides the cable or reset time?
Thanks.
If it worked then stopped working, I would test the batteries before I would start adjusting settings.
Yep that was the problem. I checked the 9v with my meter and the reading was low. So I went out and bought a new pack and problem solved.
Thanks.
I’ve always hated 9v batteries. They have really poor mah ratings so they die very quickly. You may want to move to a 4 pack of AA or AAAs. I’m not sure if Jim sells the little battery holds but I think Sparkfun does. AA and AAAs should last a lot longer than that 9v battery. Because the boards use linear regulators you are eating up 4/9ths of the 0v battery as heat. With 4 AA/AAAs you’ll only be wasting 1/6th as heat.
