50$ robot code with atmega168
« on: December 03, 2008, 07:30:02 PM »
I'm new to the robotics world, and I have absolutely no idea how to program in C. I built the 50$ robot but I can't upload the provided code to my mcu. I think it's because its the 168. Can someone please help me?

I plug the circuit into the computer, and turn it on. I then hit "Write all" and it starts writing it. The status bar says writing, and goes up to 100%,then it says verifying, goes up to 100%, then it says verifying again goes up to 100%, and then an alert comes up saying write failed.

I figured it out, I forgot to scroll down to the bottom of the microcontroller upgrade page where it says to change the Makefile.

nvm it still doesn't work. Here is a video of what is exactly happening.

I edited the makefile and Sor_Utils file like it says in the 168 tutorial.
They are attached.
