Upload problem with PC (Romeo v2)
matthewdenny 2013-08-31 06:24:47 2500 Views1 Replies I have a few Romeo v2 2 boards from dfRobot. They are Leonardo based boards. I've tried one, and got it working just fine on a macbook. I am trying to get them working on a Win XP machine thru a USB port. I have installed the driver from Device manager, using the arduino driver folder. I have installed IDE 1.0.5, selected Leonardo as the board, selected COM 6 as the port (which is the Leonardo as Identified by the device manager. I have opened the "Blink" program to test.
The computer usually takes about 4 or 5 minutes to compile and attempt upload and return a error.
I have restated the computer, The IDE, and tried re-installing the IDE.
I can open the serial monitor, and get about one line of this per second (FWIW):
1023 , 929 , 791 , 657 , 544 , 510 ,
1023 , 922 , 782 , 650 , 540 , 508 ,
I don't think it is the board since it works on the Mac, and I have the same issue with multiple of these arduinos. Yet I think the the computer was set up as directed.
Any ideas/help?

What are the specs of your computer? I've seen some slow compile on old computers or first time compiling libraries, but every time 5 minutes seems rather long. The Serial seems off as well but it certainly looks like the computer needs either a software clean up, freeing up some memory or some hardware upgrades.
I've seen it running smoothly and fast in old XP machine very often. Sometimes when the serial port does not have a delay, it is so fast that even crashes the IDE. My suggestion is that you check the free memory on system and close other software running on background.
Cheers Jose
