DFRduino UNO, what are the board details for the arduino IDE-Board-Type

userHead Account cancelled 2011-06-10 13:46:49 5286 Views2 Replies
I use Win-XP and Arduino 22.
To upload a sketch I have to select a boardtype and a console port (serial FTDI-Port of the DFRduino)
Is there a Board-template available for DFRduino UNO which works fine?
Please make the board-definition available for the board.txt definition-file!

What are the recommanded serial/console communication settings for the DFRduino Uno Board??? 115200 bit/s 8n1 no flow control? or what else? .. for windows XP...

Its not possible to me to upload a sketch to a second board. First Board worked once, ...

I planned to give the board to two young boys to learn programming...

The DFRduino UNO board is compatible with the Arduino UNO. The Board.txt file does not need a separate definition. Yuo should be able to use the Arduino UNO option from the dropdown menu.

Also, the DFRduino UNO does not need to be manually reset before a sketch upload. The UNO is designed to automatically reset before the upload.

Lets try a few different things to see if one of these fixes the problem:

First lets make sure you have the latest Arduino IDE version: 0022.
Second, make sure the Arduino is being properly recognized by windows by checking the serial port assigned in the "Device Manager" and make sure it is the same serial port being used by the arduino IDE.
Also, make sure you select the Arduino UNO from the boards list in the IDE.

Now if you have done all of that, lets try the following:

1. Try using a different cable
2. Try using a different USB port
3. Try using a different computer

If the above methods fail, please let us know so we can decide what to do next.
