Arduino Bootloader Problems

Post by RosscoS »

Hi all,
I am trying to make an Arduino Bootloader Burner by following this thread - http://www.ladyada.net/library/arduino/arduinoisp.html

I have built the protoshield as per the instructions in the thread and metered out all of the connections to check they are all ok. Then I uploaded the program to my Arduino Duemilanove as per the instructions (I used Arduino 0022 as that was the IDE shown in the image).
I then attached my new Bootloader Protoshield. Then I went to Tools --> Burn Bootloader --> w/ Arduino as ISP ( as per the instructions)

I am getting the following error:-

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I also tried with Arduino 1.0.1 but it wouldn't burn the bootloader either.

If you post photos of the front & back of the board we can check it over.

Interestingly I get the same error if I try to upload the bootloader sketch when the bootloader protoshield is plugged in.

I have checked I have the correct Serial Port selected, the right board and chip selected.

But you are able to upload with the shield unplugged?

Yes, I can upload the sketch without the shield being plugged in.

Hmmm. Could be something shorted somewhere. Post pics of the shield.

But you didn't use an Adafruit protoshield or wire it as per the instructions. I'm afraid we can't help you with that.
