Mine does the same as the above post. There is nothing connected to the Arduino mega.

I have uninstalled the Java code. I had downloaded the java code and reinstalled it. It had work before, now it does not even on the example blink program.

Hi,

Thank you for the further investigation. In the meantime I collected the information which can be relevant.

IDE0018 under Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 (two different tries)
Board: Arduino Mega2560 from emertee
http://www.emartee.com/product/41884/Ar ... ATmega2560

I followed exactly the description found here: http://www.emartee.com/Modules/bbs/redi ... t#lastpost

Also can be useful:
http://www.cbxdragbike.com/arduino/boot ... index.html

Also the programmer is the very same (USBtinyISP v2.0) as in the link above. The result of bootloader burning as described in the link, with warning, but according to the author of the patch it's ok.

Result of sketch upload:

Binary sketch size: 3248 bytes (of a 258048 byte maximum)
/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -patmega2560 -cstk500v1 -P/dev/ttyUSB2 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/build2614402755647358441.tmp/first.cpp.hex:i

From all postings it seems that the bootloader is working, however the uploading is failing due to a bug.

The built in monitor replies to "!!!" this: ATmegaBOOT / Arduino Mega2560 - (C) Arduinjo LLC modified by MLS 100507 and it's keep sending "reset" message at 57600bps.

hi james,

you bought this from a cloner, not from adafruit and not from the arduino team or an arduino reseller -it's not fair to us or our customers when you use our forums in this way. please do not post in our forums regarding this product - contact emertee directly.

thanks,
adafruit

Everyone else on this thread, if you purchased the mega from adafruit, please post what Operating System and IDE version you are using, and email support@adafruit with a link to this thread

Dear Adafruit (admin)

Excuse me for that. Please remove my post. I really appreciate your effort, and I don't want to brake the rules.

Ok I'm having the same problem as I described above. Last time I posted, I tried the arduino a few days later in a friends computer and it started working. Now we are stuck with the same error on both of our computers, and this time we can not even send commands to the arduino through matlab. Whenever I try and connect to the arduino on MATLAB, I get this error.

Warning: A timeout occurred before the Terminator was reached.
??? Error using ==> arduino>arduino.arduino at 112
Unknown Script. Please make sure that either adiosrv.pde or motorsrv.pde are running on the
Arduino

- The leds do nothing when I try and upload onto the board
- I've reinstalled the drivers a few times
- I have a motor shield connected and a stepper motor, but the last time I got the error I didn't have either of these connected

thanks
