Hello All,
Is it possible to use a SF RB ans an Arduino Uno on the same Win PC? Not at the same time, only one plugged at once. I'm asking this due to problems I've mentioned in another topic in Projects using both on a Mac Book Pro which has been marked as solved, which it is as long as I never want to use the serial port feedback function.
So I tried the Uno on a Win PC running WIN 7, and worked (with the simple projects - didn't get to test the serial port). Then I was advised by another forum contributor that the SF RB needed FTDI drivers which I installed. The SF RB then worked - but not the echo of serial data sketch ( that'll have to be another post - it just gives an endless stream of yyyyyyyyyy) but on disconnecting the SF RB shutting down the IDE AND the PC, rebooting the Uno won't communicate - giving the message:
avrdude stk500_getsync(): not in sync resp=0x30
I've searched breifly online about this message and will be investigating. Am I wasting my time? Is it just not possible to have them configured on the same PC given that one uses FDTI drivers and the other not.
It would be good to get on with learning the coding and actually doing something other than flashing LED's, but all I seem to be doing is battling with configure problems.
Regards,
M.
