timeout while uploading sketch to APM2

Posted by flyer on August 2, 2012 at 1:43am

Hi everybody,

I am trying to upload the ArduCopter 2.7.1 to my APM but the Arduino gives me errors:
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

I have the 250 board and I tried it with the relax patch the latest arduino version. Nothing works. I uploaded a code 2 weeks ago and it worked fine, but now it doesn't. Why?

Do you have any suggestions?

I am getting crazy with this issue...

Thanks!

    Andre, flyer,

    Here is the solution:
    Solved in arduino-1.0.1 to use   arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe and arduino\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf  files from arduino-0022-relaxpatch. That works for me.

    Hi,

    had similar problems with a different Arduino board some months back. Google the error message and you'll find that there is a large number of causes and potential fixes. The way I got it finally solved was (I have no clue why this worked) with a different (actually older arduino version), after which uploading again worked with the newer one. Sorry, can't give an explanation and yeah it sounds odd.

    Good luck,

    Andre
