help programming minipov3

Post by navid »

Hi,

I built a kit from your website and the kit works with the flashing lights program but I can not get avrdude to program the board.

1.minipov3 kit from adafruit
2.ubuntu 9.10 with a dell D600
3.serial port /dev/ttySo
$ sudo dmesg | grep serial

[ 0.895996] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

4.the kit flashes lights in a row when turned on.
5.I cant program the kit to customize the message.
6.I plug in the minipov kit, turn it on. Then run avrdude and I always get initialization failed.

Attached front,back, and screenshot.

in focus pictures would be more helpful.

is there any solder at all on the serial connector on the top side of the board?
