Re: Teacup on Sanginololu under Win 7
Okay, solved a driver issue with the Arduino, which I probably should have done before even trying, but I was impatient... Same error. Do I have to try burning the boot loader from a command line or...

I also tried uploading with "Arduino as ISP" as the programmer, and received the following: Arduino: 1.6.4 (Windows 7), Board: "Sanguino, ATmega1284 or ATmega1284P (16 MHz)" C:\Program Files...

Also, I tried AVRISP Mk II, but it gave the error "could not find usb" or somesuch - I assume because that programmer does not operate over a simple COM port.

Using the command line is much easier in such cases. Still some people prefer to edit the boards.txt file somewhere inside the Arduino folder to adjust parameters there. In case you want to access the...

I you're trying to use an FTDI connection, you are basically trying to program the AVR thought the serial interface. I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think in this case, you need a bootloader on your...

I'm using a Pro Micro clone, based on a 16u4 with USB on chip. I've been trying to read up on this, but depending on what you meant, most sources aren't very forthcoming on the "how" as much as the...

If you don't code much, package dependencies are usually included in win installers. I believe your complaint is with poor ports. :-) Using avrdude in command line I get the following while trying to...

Those messages mean to me that you're not even connecting to the processor. Either your baud rate is wrong or your port is wrong. Or your programmer is wrong.

Hmm. Good news and bad news. I tried reinstalling the ArduinoISP firmware to my Pro Micro and now it shows up as "Unknown Device" and I can't even pull a device ID from it. The good news being...

Other dubious news - I've apparently succeeded in writing something to the Sanguinololu - the menu no longer shows on the display. This will be educational, if not fun...

Good news! My cousin helped me out and we got the firmware installed! Now I just need to figure out... everything else. :-)

For anyone else in my situation, the baud rate was 57600 and programmer should be arduino, not stk500 for the sanguinololu. It may have had the bootloader after all, but we'll never know now. :-)

Fair enough. At least now the next person who goes looking will have this as a reference. I guess this begs the question of how hard it would be to edit the bootloader to change the baud rate?...
View ArticleRe: Teacup on Sanginololu under Win 7
Uhm, there are no "global constants" ... Baud rate is hardcoded in the bootloader. The ones coming with Gen7 Arduino IDE Support are hardcoded to 115200 baud. It's also a number relative to the CPU...

Sorry, not really a programmer, clearly. I meant a defined value like a #define. I realize it's hard coded in the bootloader, but is the bootloader itself closed source? If not, could it be possible...
View ArticleRe: Teacup on Sanginololu under Win 7
If the bootloader is closed source, where would you put this #define? Write it with a pencil on the back of the chip? :-) Luckily it's Open Source: [github.com] There are other Open Source bootloaders...
View ArticleRe: Teacup on Sanginololu under Win 7
Yes, yes, I know what open source means. :-) If I was playing with the bootloader much, I might actually write the baud rate on the chip with a pencil. ;-) Or if I had multiple chips/controller...
