New ooPic-R and Trouble Uploading File - calpolyjdk - Jul 21 19:30:01 2008
I have recently received my new ooPic-R board and am having trouble
out of the gates with trying to program it. Let me run down some
facts about my current setup so that that diagnosing will take less time:
- The factory-loaded program is on there and properly runs on boot-up
- I am using a USB to Serial convertor cable
- I am pointing my software directly to the Serial Port (which is
even found by the IDE software)
- The error I get is the one referring to the "node" not being able
to be found. Upon pressing F5, there is a screen showing a progress
bar (that always stays on zero) and two to three seconds later,
another window pops up informing of the node problem and telling me to
try the EEPROM removal procedure (which I did).
Any suggestions at this point would be very helpful, as I'd like to
get something on there to see what this bad boy can do!
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Try using a computer with a real serial port. There have been issues
with some USB-to-Serial cables, try using a different manufacturer of
cables.
I keep an older desktop around just to ensure I have a real serial
and parallel port available. I also use a Belkin USB/Serial cable
without problems, with my laptops. Sorry, don't have the exact model
# of the cable handy.

Tried a desktop with an actual serial port and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for the suggestion!
