So my problem is, that when I try to upload my code from arduino it works until the end, the lights from the FTDI uploader are blinkin, and then it says that the upload failed. I am at the beginning of uploading of the codes and startet with the test buzzer code and it don’t work.
I hope someone can help me, because I need to finish my nybble cat until Monday (09.11.2020) and I don’t know what’s wrong. 🥺😓
Hi, according to your email, if you connect the NyBoard with a Pi, the serial port will interfere with the Pi, and you won't be able to upload sketches with the uploader. You need to upload the sketch without Pi and then use the Pi to send the serial commands.
So I put the Pi down and tried to upload the sketch, but every time the FDTI uploader blinks and after this the ardoino app says that the download failed.
I startet my computer again and it doesn't go away. I can try it again on my macBook because now I am working with windows. I hope there will ma any solution.
@Julia Hartmann When you plug in the uploader to your computer (don't connect the NyBoard yet), do you see a new serial port appear in Arduino IDE->Tools->Port ? On Windows, it should be "COM#". On Mac, it should be "usbserial-XXXX".
You mentioned in your email that there was some smoke during the previous operation. Do you remember where the smoke came from? If you cannot find the uploader in the Ports, then it might be broken. Also make sure that you're connecting the uploader to the NyBoard in the right direction, with GND to GND, and DTR to DTR.
@Rongzhong Li About my Email: I asked my unkle and he helped me. When he put on the battery everything was ok and he testet if the electricity is working and it works so idk what was wrong. I will try this what you wrote and I hope it works. :)
The keyword for searching is "FTDI arduino uploader". It should have 6 pins with the same label order as the one in kit.
What about the board selection? Have you setup and selected the NyBoard V0 (20 MHz)?
Yes
So what can I do now, because I would love to get the nybble cat done but idk how. Do you have any options which could work? Or is there any way to get with the framework of guarantee or something like that a new board?
Yes, please email support@petoi.com and provide your shipping information. I could not find your original order with your name.
We will ship a free replacement and set it up beforehand. Please do us a favor to ship the old board back. Flat rate shipping is ok. We want to inspect it and tell you why it didn't work. It may still be a problem in setup.
