[avr-chat] iRobot Command Module Owner's Manual

[Ahmad Ali Iqbal]

Hi,

 

I am new to program Command Module for iRobot create. I started following instructions from "iRobot Command Module Owner's Manual" input example and able to successfully create input.hex

 

However when I start downloading project over the USB link, I get the timout message for unlimited period of time. The output that I get is

 

avrdude -p atmega168 -P com9     -c stk500    -U flash:w:input.hex
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

I ensured to use COM9 in makefile as well as for "USB Serial Port (COM9)". I also have tried to reset command module before [WinAVR] Program but there is no use. I am sure, I am doing some mistake making my iRobot create command module not to properly communicate and expect an expert identifying the issue.

 

Thanks a lot,
