Problem loading code

Hi guys,

 

I have been working on an Arudpilot project for quite some time now. After a lot of testing, and the odd crash landing into the snow and elements, I thought it would be a good idea to get some new hardware. I believe the original hardware is beginning to fail... the leds are not solid, but often blink slightly as though connections are not good.

 

I just ordered an all new arduino 328 board, a new sheild kit, and a new gps, soldered it all together and tried to load code, but got the following error message.

 

Binary sketch size: 23160 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)

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

 

I can still upload teh code onto my old board no problem, so I assume the problem must be something with my new hardware?

 

Thanks for any advice in advance!!

 

Jeff

Okay, that is what I figured!

I just went through the section of the new manual about "if you are upgrading to 2.5"... it is great to see the information evolve! I was missing the second wire on the underside of the board, but that should not matter at the moment as i am not quite at the stage of automatic throttle control yet anyway, still working on the navigation!

I am wondering if there is a situaiton where using the external reset button on the sheild board would be of use?

Thanks again,
Jeff

If you don't connect that second wire, you'll need to use the old bind plug process at startup. I recommend you use the wire.
