Dawn Robotics Forum

Hello,

I’m having a problem connected with “Rover 5 Seeeduino/Arduino Robot Kit”.
1.First of all at the Seeeduino I have one Led blinking (“L”)
2.At the “Explorer PCB” LED2 is shining red
3.And when I try to upload something by the Arduino IDE , I get the following :
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.
Arduino: 1.0.6 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328"
Binary sketch size: 1,082 bytes (of a 30,720 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

Thank you in advance.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forums.

I think that it's good news you've got a light blinking on the Seeeduino (in fact, the blink sketch may have uploaded once) but obviously somethings going wrong now.

Could you try the upload with the power switch on the Explorer PCB set to off? The Seeeduino can be powered from your PC using the USB cable and there may be some problem with wires connected to th Explorer PCB.

Also, how far have you got with connecting the wires from the Explorer PCB to the Seeeduino? If it's not too much hassle could you try disconnecting wires to see if that makes things work?

Hello,

I've found a way to solve the problem.Apparently I was not pressing the restart button right before uploading something so that was the problem.

Thank you anyway .

Hi there,

Glad you managed to resolve this problem, although ideally the Seeeduino should reset automatically when you try to program it. There is a M_RST_AUTO switch on the Seeeduino. Could you make sure it's set to AUTO and see if that helps things please? Also, just to be on the safe side, the 3V3_VCC_5V switch needs to stay on 5V.
