I just got my Papa Soundie and went to program the Arduino onboard. I followed the settings exactly using Board: Arduino Pro or Pro Mini and the processor at 3.3V and 8 MHz. I’m using the Sparkfun 3.3v FTDI Basic and getting the following error when I attempt to upload the code:
avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x81
avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x84
avrdude: stk500_initialize(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0xe6
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x85
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x85
I’m sure it’s not a programming cable or FTDI Basic board issue as I have no problem programming other MEGA 328P chips and its only with the Papa Soundie that I have issues. The programming header is also plugged in the right way- I checked that too.
Could this be a DoA board or am I doing something wrong here?
