    VW, you mention a techBasic demo in one of your posts. Is that available to share?

    So I bought a USBtinyISP and reloaded the bootloader successfully. This did not, however, help the problem. I am using IDE version 1.0.5 as you suggested.

    Two observations:
    1. One time, in many attempts to download a sketch, it worked. I was able to load the Blink sketch and it ran successfully. At this point, I thought the bootloader had fixed the problem. I then tried to download the sketch again with a longer blink delay (so I could tell what was running) but it failed as before. I have never again succeeded in downloading a sketch. I reloaded the bootloader again but was not able to load a sketch.
    2. Whenever I attach the USB cable, the IDE offers only Com4 for the port. However, the blunoFWdownloader only offers Com5. BTW - the blunoFWdownloader always loads successfully.

    Any thoughts or is it time to contact tech support?

    Forgot to mention entering AT+SETTING=DEFPERIPHERAL did not help.

    I entered AT+SETTING=DEFPERIPHERAL and got back an OK. See screen shots.

    I do not have ISPtinyUSB. Never needed one with Uno. What can it do for this problem?

    Shouldn't I be able to program Bluno with the USB cable?

  • You Reply: Hi Grey. Thanks for the response.

    Attached are two pics showing my laptop connected to the Bluno via USB and a close-up of the Bluno. As you can see, nothing is attached except the laptop.

    What do you mean by "cut down the BLE connection" and how is that done? As I said, I am new to this.

    Thanks again.

  • You Reply: Just started with Arduino (Uno). I did some simple things like servo control, etc. No significant problems.

    I ordered a Bluno and received it a couple of days ago. First I updated it to V1.8. Next I played with AT commands using a USB cable connected to my PC and then using BLE to my iPad. No problems doing everything manually with the Arduino IDE. AT commands worked correctly and I can connect to the iPad.

    So then came time to download a sketch. I am using my PC connected to the Bluno via a USB cable. The idea is to use the Arduino IDE download function just as I did with the Uno. My sketch compiles but I get an error "avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00" when it tries to download.

    I know the port and cable work because I can manually send AT commands with the IDE. I have tried all baud rates. The programmer is set to AVRISP mkII and the board is set to Arduino Uno. It's probably something simple. What am I missing?
