I'm having problems uploading sketches to Seeeduino. I can upload small sketch files but as soon as the file exceeds a certain size, the upload hands and produces a tk500_recv(): programmer is not responding message.

It seems to be that you can only upload a file if it is written and validated within around 4-5 seconds of being powered.

My current setup is: Arduino: 1.6.3 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila, ATmega328"

I am not using pins 0 or 1, I have the reset switch set to AUTO and the voltage to 5V.

Here's an example of the verbose output when I upload blink:

If I try and upload the wall follower or any other file with lots of data I get a message like this:

I've also had it crash during the writing phase too:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Phil,

Welcome to the forums.

Sorry to hear that you're having problems with your Seeeduino. That is very odd behaviour. Could you try with a different version of the Arduino environment please? I'm fairly sure for example that it works with IDE version 1.0.5. If you have a Linux or Windows install to try with a different operating system then that may also help, although I can't think why it would have an affect.

Regards

Alan

Alan,

Thanks for your quick response. I installed verison 1.0.5 and it works like a dream. It's a bit strange that the newer version doesn't work!

Hi Phil,

That's good to hear. Thanks for letting me know.

Odd to hear that the Seeeduino has a problem with the new Arduino IDE. I'll try to download that this week to see if I get the same problem.

Regards

Alan
