If the Arduino and the Rainbowduino are both 328 you cannot program through the Arduino, you will need a usb – uart rs232 board i think.

Al,

Any luck with your problem? I’m experiencing a similar issue, although I’m unable to even program the blank sketch.

I have the newer Rainbowduino, but cannot program it through my existing Arduino 328. I have been able to program it with the Uarb_SB, but only have one available usb hub and have to keep swapping between programming the master and the rainbowduino.

Hi sweet looking app. I have a newer Rainbowduino with an Atmel 328

The blank sketch loads fine on my Arduino 328 but when trying to upload to the Rainbowduino (after following the wiring in the blog pic), I get this

tried both setting 128 and 328 in the arduino IDE, any ideas?

avrdude: stk500_paged_write(): (a) protocol error, expect=0×14, resp=0×64
avrdude: failed to write flash memory, rc=-4
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0×14, resp=0×51

Hi!!

I’ve tried but it does not work for me… what I do is the following:
1- Connect Arduino (328) with Rainbowduino as your connections (tx-tx, rx-rx)
2- Upload the blank sketch to the 328 arduino
3- Change the Board to “Arduino Diecimila, Duemilanove or nano Atmega/168″ and upload the firmware.pde
At this point, the upload is not succesful and I get the error: “avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding”

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
xphere.

FINALY GOT SOME LIFE OUT OF THE RAINBODU STILL CANT USE THE MTX CONT.BUT THE LINK AND THE RAINROW WORKS THE ONLY THING IT RUNS IS #include “Rainbowduino.h”
#include “RCodes.h” //API Cod DO YOU HAVE ENY SUGESTION ON WHAT I DONT UNDERST OR IAM DOING WRONG. THANKS AND GOD BLESS

thanks TOBI Iam shure i have the wright mtx the part idont understand is
e. Using the Arduino IDE, load the firmware.pde sketch and then transfer it.
