Loading the ROS Sketch onto the Arbotix board
I am trying to load the ros.pde sketch onto the ArbotiX board for use with the turtlebot arm, and I keep getting an error when trying to upload the sketch. The error that I am getting is:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
My boards.txt file contains this segment:
# To use an ISP: uncomment the next line, comment out the protocol line
#arbotix.upload.using=avrispmkii
arbotix.upload.protocol=stk500
#arbotix.upload.protocol=arduino
The board is powered on and connected to the computer using the FTDI USB-TTY cable listed here: http://www.amazon.com/USB-Header-Like-FTDI-TTL-232R-5V/dp/B004LC28G2/ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&qid=1328642741&sr=8-2
I tried the FTDI Sparkfun breakout board with a normal mini usb cable and it crashes my arduino ide with the error /dev/USBTTY1 No such file or folder.
I am running arduino 0018 (as per the suggestion on the arbotix site), which I downloaded directly off of the arduino site (not through apt-get).
Does anyone have an idea of why I am having problems uploading this sketch? Thank you very much!

You are using an FTDI adapter, not an ISP, so you should not have uncommented the .upload.using= part.
If you have an error about a port not being present, you need to change the port selection within the Arduino IDE (found in the Menu under Tools).

That was an attempt to fix the problem that I edited in above. I have put my boards.txt file back the way it was and am now still receiving my old error (above).

If too many interrupts are present in the system, you could get this error. I usually got them when I "overused" the microcontroller on my Arduino with complicated code.
