Hey guys,
I have a FTDI friend and just bought a Sparkfun Mega Pro 5v/16mhz. I tried to upload with the FTDI friend and when the IDE displays "Uploading" Is just hangs there... At first, I thought it was the Mega Pro not auto resetting because it WILL upload with a well timed reset button press. Sparkfun was nice enough to send a new board and guess what... The new board will not upload.
When I tried to upload with 1.0.1 and a verbose upload output, I get...
System wide configuration file is "C:\Program Files\arduino-1.0.1\hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf"
Using Port : \\.\COM23
Using Programmer : stk500v2
Overriding Baud Rate : 115200
avrdude: Send: . [1b] . [01] . [00] . [01] . [0e] . [01] . [14]
avrdude: Recv:
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: Send: . [1b] . [01] . [00] . [01] . [0e] . [01] . [14]
avrdude: Recv:
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: Send: . [1b] . [01] . [00] . [01] . [0e] . [01] . [14]
It will continue like this for 5 minutes (at least)... I see the mega flashing it's D13 led just before the upload attempt and then I get one FTDI tx blink every 10 seconds or so...
What I can tell you....
The correct board is selected.
FTDI friend works with other 328 based boards
FTDI drivers tried were 2.8.24.0 & 2.8.14.0
What can be happening?
