unable to upload - Redboard Artemis

Development Boards Artemis
1

Hello,

I am new to your Sparkfun Redboard products.

Unable to upload Arduino sketch onto board.

At the time I bought the board, I had no idea you had different

types.

These (below) I found on your site … did I get the wrong board?

(I bought two of them) :frowning:

And a bunch of sensors.

What’s the difference?

Redboard Artemis (what I ordered)

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15444

RedBoard - Programmed with Arduino

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13975

RedBoard Qwiic

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15123

I also bought an Arduino Uno from you - that works fine.

The IDE recognizes the Redboard’s COM when I plug/unplug.

I also did the driver uninstall/install.

(Windows 10).

The error is:

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x25

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x25

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

(etc)

Ok… I found the problem after more googling. Did NOT find the answer directly in the forums. And going from the main page from where I ordered the board, it also did not lead me to the answer.

But I stumbled on this page:

https://github.com/sparkfun/RedBoard_Ar … umentation

and then this:

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ar … th-arduino

and even though it seemed to be directed toward Blackboard… I went ahead with the instructions.

'“Installing the Arduino Core for Apollo3”

Hi ecorrales,

I’m glad to hear you were able to find the installation instructions for the Apollo3 Arduino Core. The difference between the two boards you purchased is the controller IC/module that acts as the “brains” of the board. The RedBoard Qwiic is an Uno-clone so you can use the pre-installed board definitions that come with the Arduino IDE to upload to it. The RedBoard Artemis uses a very different system architecture and requires the board definitions to be added into Arduino before you can select it and upload to it. If custom definitions are needed, our documentation/Hookup Guide will always include instructions on how to add them to Arduino.

If you have any other questions about or issues with these boards, let us know and we would be happy to help as much as we can.
