If you also have an AVR-ISP MKII programmer plugged into the SPI port then remove it - it resets the chip about a second after power on and clobbers the download from McUber.The only thing plugged into my Axon II is the USB connection and battery power which is "off" until after I press the "Program" button in MCuber.1. Have you ever managed to xfer a hex file to the board using McUber?No.2. If you have ever used a hardware programmer (like the AVR-ISP) then you will have zapped the bootloader on the board and so you will need to use the hardware programmer to re-install the bootloader onto the board.I never used a hardware programmer on my "new" Axon II.3. Did you get the Axon from new (in which case it should have the bootloader subject to point 2 above). If you got it 'used' then the previous owner may also have wiped the bootloader.I bought it new.Is the hex you are trying t upload from your own project (ie your code) or is it one of you've downloaded (like centering a servo)?It is my own hex file. The C source was generated by Project Designer and compiled and linked in Atmel Studio 6.1
Did you install the USB drivers, and does your PC properly recognize that the Axon is plugged in?
Any word from Yeta Corp?I few more silly questions, but just in case:- You mentioned you used com port 6. Did you verify that this is the correct port?- Is the battery fully charged, and what voltage?- Try a different USB cable (I've actually had one that didn't work straight from the factory)- Try without the on/off switch, just plug the battery into the battery pin (switch can also be broken)My last suggestion is to get a hardware programmer . . .
Hey Hero I,Just been super busy with alot of other stuff with my company for a while, but still I didn't receive an email from you. Were you able to get it working? Have you tried what Webbot mentioned? Also, along with the Admin's questions, are you getting any activity from either the board or any progress updates in McUber?As you can see the project was tabled for a while, but if there is a high enough demand for an application like McUber which was meant to be:- Cross platform- Expandable to not only Axon but to other board (by the community writing communication scripts outside of the core application)- House a customized terminal+ other requested feature (can be found in other posts in this forum)I can look into allocating some resources to get a new version out. Admin please advice?Other than that the only recommendation I could give you is to try out the older programmer in an XP environment to ensure that your board is functioning correctly.
