Programming the Nexus 'Arduino 328'

Hi!

I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.

I cannot find instructions for programming the ‘Arduino 328’ as shipped with the holonomic robot kits from Nexus. I am using the Arduino IDE 1.8.7 and have tried using the standard Uno, Duomilanove and Nano profiles but these all give the “stk_500_getsync()” error. My research online indicates that this is normally due to the board profile being incorrectly set, but I cannot find a custom profile for this board and the three boards listed in the manual are clearly not working. Has anyone else been able to program any robots shipped with this board?

The robot we bought is here:

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hi @JPB515

Please try and use the following links:
ZIP File
• Manual and Sample code
• Arduino library

Make sure to install the drivers properly.

Thanks for the response but the issue was actually caused by the motor shield being connected to the Arduino during programming. It would be helpful if the manual mentioned that the shield should be disconnected when uploading code.
