I am trying to send the requested pictures but the site will not take them as they are too big. How do I reduce them?

Do the TX and RX LEDs on the Uno do anything?

How are you powering the Uno?

No flashing tx or Rx on UNO. UNO powered by 9 volt battery.

Everything you're doing looks OK. We can try replacing the EZ-link again, or I can offer you a refund. Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement or refund.

I got the second replacement and was able to upload one time. I have not been able to upload again. I replaced the battery thinking it might be the problem but no difference. Please advise.

Try using a real power supply to power the UNO, a 9 volt battery does not have enough power to run both the UNO and the BlusFruit for long.

I have powered the UNO with a regular power supply at about 16volts and am getting just under 5volts on the UNO. Now I cannot get the Bluefruit to flash the LED rapidly as before. I just get the same sync error msg as before. I really want to get the unit to work. Please advise.

Do you have another Uno you can try?

Used another UNO with the same results. Now the sketch will not load after compiling. The blue tooth on computer indicates ports 17 and 19 in the device manager, but sketch will not load. It just stops and stays without indicating a download. I have the different UNO and previously used it with the USB cable and it works ok.

So one UNO works with the sketch and the other does not?
