I have a RedBoard that all of a sudden has stopped accepting programs.
It gives the following error after attempting to load the arduino sketch from arduino IDE:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding.
Also the board overheated which I had never experience before while uploading a sketch.
For some reason its stuck on COM port 8 even though other working red boards attached to the same cable on the same port show COM port 5.
After some online research it seemed like i needed to reflash the bootloader to get it operating again.
So i followed your instructions on using a working redboard to install a bootloader from:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/in … loader/all
that failed.
any help you can give me would be appreciated.
