Seeduino Stalker v328 upload

fribbe · January 30, 2012, 10:59am

Hallo,

I am using a stalker v328 and a FTDI Basic Breakout - 5V - http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9115.

Following this instruction - http://projecthyperion.blogspot.com/2011/10/programming-seeedstudio-stalker-v328.html during upload under Arduino IDE 023 and 1.0 I always get the well known message 500 (programmer not responding).

Any solutions?

Best regards

fribbe

Which bootloader is on stalker?
Which board did you use in arduino?

Hallo,

I am trying to use the Stalker in the Stand-Alone-Mode, not in Shield-Mode.

Concerning the bootloader I habe no idea. The Modell is labeled as “seeduino stalker v 328 12.18.2009”

Anyway there is a short response (blinking rx-LED) starting the upload. Then the avr 500 error (programmer not responding) appears.

There is a known problem with the Arduino programming software. The following is a portion of a post from the arduino.cc/forum:

The problem’s with the Arduino software, not the board… That is, there’s already a ready to receive signal - an LED on pin 13 flashes three times when the bootloader starts, after which you have 5-6 seconds for the upload to begin. For simplicity, however, the Arduino environment recompiles your code every time you upload (I want to do something about this, but it’s not been the highest priority), which on some machines seems to be very slow for reasons I don’t really understand. Thus, by the time the upload begins, the bootloader has already timed out.

The suggestion of pressing the reset button after the hitting upload is mentioned on the troubleshooting page (URL Removed!), but it’s certainly easy to miss. I’ll take a look at improving the error message in the environment.
