Title: irobot create program upload problem
Post by: jacksteel on January 24, 2010, 09:34:58 PM

I am trying to upload the Drive sample program that came on the irobot create command module CD.  I put the programs drive.c, makefile, and oi.h in a project and then clicked [WinAVR] Make All in the tools menu, in Programmers Notepad. I got the following error message

> "make.exe" program

Compiling: drive.c
avr-gcc -c -mmcu=atmega168 -I. -gdwarf-2 -DF_CPU=18432000UL  -Os -funsigned-char -funsigned-bitfields -fpack-struct -fshort-enums -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wa,-adhlns=drive.lst  -std=gnu99 -MD -MP -MF .dep/drive.o.d drive.c -o drive.o
drive.c:262: fatal error: opening dependency file .dep/drive.o.d: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make.exe: *** [drive.o] Error 1


> Process Exit Code: 2

Any help is much apreciated. And if my explanation isn't  sufficient please let me know. Thanks.

I strongly recommend using AVR Studio and following my iRobot Create tutorial to program it.

BTW, Admin,

Not sure how far you dug into your create to look at the innards, but it doesn't seem far by the pictures in that tutorial. I took a few pics when i had it fully undressed, before we gutted it for it's wheels and electronics for another robot.

I have the same problem and can't find a solution.  I would like to use the original software with the irobot before going on to use the admin's irobot software.  Anyone have a solution to this problem?
