First: I have no idea what I’m doing.
That being said, here’s what I’m TRYING to do: upload some of the sample files in the Rainbowduino to my Rainbow Cube.
I’ve successfully done the following:
Installed the RainbowDuino 3.0 Library into Arduino 1.0.5.
Double-checked drivers - it’s detected on COM11 as a “USB Serial Port” using these drivers:
ftser2k.sys
serenum.sys
ftcserco.dll
ftserui2.dll
I’ve double-checked that my Board is set to Duemilanove w/ATMega328
I’ve also tried the 168 setting, with the same result.
When uploading, no matter what, I get:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
But, the cube seems to respond in that it will halt in its current sequence, freeze 3-4 dots in a horizonal line on the edge of the current color it was displaying, then resetting to the beginning of its sequence. This happens almost every time I try to upload, so it looks like SOMETHING is getting through.
I’ve also tried seeing if uploading in Verbose mode helps. It does not, I still only get the getsync error.
I’ve uploaded every file from Cube1 to PlasmaCube, nothing works.
If I hit upload in rapid succession, I’ll get errors regarding COM11 being in use.
I’ve also hit the reset button and tried again, with no luck.
I’ve tried running as Admin.
I’m on WinXP.
I’m hoping it’s some sort of really dumb, obvious step I’m missing or I messed up the drivers somehow.
I tried referencing (youtu.be/v44i73zmwA4) but there’s like, zero detail in there.
Any help?
