Hi
I am quite new to arduinos so please excuse me if I am being stupid.
I messed up my Redboard a while back by clicking random buttons in the IDE, and I think I killed the bootloader. For the last week I have been trying to get a bootloader burned back on to the Redboard, with no luck.
At first I was using my genuine Leonardo as an ISP, but did not get anywhere. Today my Pocket AVR arrived, and I’m still not winning.
I have tried too many forum posts, driver packages, etc to list here, and I am now so confused I don’t even know where to start. I am hoping some of the details in this error message means something to someone here that can point me In the right direction.
