Hi.
As I started to go through the instructions, I realised that I had tried to update the firmware on the board, However after that particular update, my left motor would not stop spinning. To fix that Iwas told by @EastBaySource to flash their firmware as described in this post : Motor won't stop turning - #18 by vayu.rw
I am trying to floow those instructions toupdate the firmware, But now I am getting
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer
There is supposedly a fix for this where in I add my user (the user I am logged in as while running the Arduino IDE) to the dialout group
I did that. Logged out and logged back in . I am still getting this error.
any ideas ?
