View Full Version : Bugger, why doesn't this work?

Why is it that all my sketches return fatal errors? I pull code directly off the website, alter it in no way, paste it into Antipasto (since I'm no longer working with a strict Arduino) and hit verify, and it pitches a *****. I'm trying to get a cut/paste of what's going on, but it seems to be insane.

It seems to me that the libraries it wants (specifically the Twig LCD libraries from the Garden wiki) even though I put them in the right spot aren't being found. And I can't cut/paste the error. Given that i'm a n00b, what did I do wrong in putting it together? (software wise, I didn't put the AVR together.)

Can you tell us more details about the error? Maybe a screenshot?

It blinks its LEDs all right, but I can't get more code on. Dunno what I need to do.

Instructions it didn't come with, yay.

Use the official Arduino build 022

Does it support my Illuminato?

If it's using the default Arduino bootloader, then yes.

I somehow think not.

Chip is an Atmega 645, not 328. There s an FTDI chip onboard, some 0919-8 deal.

Reading the instructions off the website, the Illuminato uses the Antipasto Arduino software to program the deal. They didn't even say update the Arduino core, so something's funny in there.

You can add support for it though! http://www.liquidware.com/wikipages/name/Illuminato_Installation

Pardon me, my ignorance is showing.

Hopefully, I'll have a sketch put together the next time I ask a daft question.

It might be something else that is causing your issues, but I'm not sure.

It's probably some minor error in registry or pathnames or whatever, it seems to me that your app isn't looking in the right place to find all the library or resource files it needs to compile this project beyond LED-bling.

I would try doing a clean reinstall for the whole mess of software, a minute of overkill might save hours of troubleshooting. If all else fails there's always the tech support option, YMMV of course.
