Error Uploading to ArduStation

Posted by Austin Duff on September 13, 2009 at 10:39am
Hello, I am relatively new to this ArduStation. I attempted to upload the Ardustation demo program using the ftdi cable, but i recieve the error:avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated to help me get this thing up and running.-Austin

    I'm having the same issue not being able to upload code to the Ardustation. The error message is:

    Binary sketch size: 22752 bytes (of a 32256 byte maximum)
    avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
    avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

    Here are my details:

    -Arduino 0022

    -Selected Arduino Uno (and have also tried all the other ATmega 328 permutations)

    -ATmega is plugged in with the notch in the correct direction and A0-A5 labels all agree in direction

    -Running Ardustation 2.0.11

    -Using a 3.3V FTDI cable (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8772) with up to date drivers

    -Windows 7

    Any more ideas?

    Thanks,

    Pat

    Hello 

    I was a little too quick to fresh sign ardustation, it looks like it does not communicate with apm. It is green in power led and the red light flashes. When I press "Start Feeds" a red light on the xbee unit in the copter is visible. But nothing further happens. What baud rate should I enter before I upload the code with the Arduino? 57k is normal I think. 

    It looks like ardussation is trying to establish communications but fail..

    Hi,

    after spending a couple of hours in trying to get ArduStation to work, I found this Discussion. My ArduStation shows the same behaviour like Arni-Inges and heckmics. Must be a generell problem.

    Looking forward for a solution.

    Regards, Frank

    Same error here, can't upload to Ardustation. FTDI is ok, i can upload to Arduino Mini.

    Board is set to Duelemanove / mini 328. Upper left LED is on, lower left blinks, lower right is off.

    i have buy ardustasion

    and canot upload program

    avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
    avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

     

    i have plug the power 12V and i have check 5V is good.

    using FTDI using arduino

     

    setting tools :

    Arduino PRO board with 5V and 16 Mhz

    38400 baud

     

    is the ATmega328 have arduino bootloader (from DIY store)?

    I had same problem. I spent several hours and almost gave up. When I connected FTDI only green light was green. No LCD, no Chirp, no connection. I did all soldering again, checked everything and nothing. Then I remembered to turn potenciometers. DOH!! LCD was working.

    I tried all possible settings on arduino at serial connection and boards. Just got scrambled results on serial monitor.

     

    Then I tried to reverse chip. It worked. Chip in my package had red dot marking  on the wrong side. I turned it around. After I did this it was all OK. It took me 5 hours!

    I also noticed that 2 LED lights had different polarity. It must be checked with multimeters as said in manual.

     

    Correct setting for uploading is:

    Arduino PRO board with 5V and 16 Mhz

    38400 baud

     

    Manual should be updated. It took me long time to figure it out.

    Hi Folks

    My ArduStation and the ardupilot could not upload code, thats maybe due on wrong/unoptimal fuses set in the ATmega328:
    the factory-defaults are not safe as Its possible to overwrite the bootloader, thats can ocoure by brown-outs or a flaky powersource.


    the best thing is to reburn the bootloader with the correct fuses settings. I use the ATmega168-settings..
    now the both are back in action ;-)

    Ok, I just want to throw one more question out there before I get to bed, What type of input does the ArduPilot take? I see it is 3 pins for each channel, to be more specific how do I integrate my (what im guessing is 3 channels) RC helicopter's outputs to these inputs? The outputs on my helicopter go straight to dc motors. 1 dc motor for each propeller (It's one of those dual propeller helicopters) and then one dc motor for the tail.

    I included pictures. Now i'm not using this helicopter for the actual project, it's obviously too small to hold all the equipment, but I would like to make use of the RC system.

    Thank You
    -Austin

    If you can sucessfully upload code to ArduPilot with this cable/PC but not to ArduStation, you've probably done something wrong when you assembled it (soldering error, part reversed, etc). I assume you've got the station powered on when you're uploading the code?
