Loading the ROS Sketch onto the Arbotix board [closed]
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=sr_1_2?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!
