Firmware installation

Hi, I've built up PLEN2 and i'm now ready to install the firmware. How do I do this? I've downloaded the latest Arduino IDE 1.6.7 and the latest firmware, I plugged in PLEN2 clicked upload and it failed to upload. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

Error message I receive when I try to upload firmware

Arduino: 1.6.7 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Micro"

sketch\JointController.cpp: In member function 'void PLEN2::JointController::loadSettings()':

JointController.cpp:150: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

  TCCR1B =

         ^

exit status 1
lvalue required as left operand of assignment

  This report would have more information with
  "Show verbose output during compilation"
  enabled in File > Preferences.

Re: Firmware installation

Hi, pdpw

I have tested same environment, but I have got no errors...

You could get Arduino IDE ver.1.6.5 from following link.
-> https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftw … s#previous
Would you tell me that the problem is happening even if to install the firmware in the enviroment?

Re: Firmware installation

For confirmation, have you edit the firmware?

I found a mistake that end of your line 148 is pipe(= |) but it is not semi-colon(= ;).

Re: Firmware installation

Yes, I downloaded the firmware again, this time it worked :) but still got a few problems lol. I switched him on and because the motors aren't set the arms and legs flew off in different directions and broke a couple of parts (knee joint for servo horn, and servo bracket, also where the servo horn goes) I will have to try and print out some stronger parts.

Re: Firmware installation

I've down loaded the Firmware 1.4.2 and straight away tried uploading to the control board. However, I can't get it through. The Arduino error message shown below: -

======================================

======================================

I have also tried Arduino 1.6.5 and 1.8.0 to compile PLEN2 Firmware version 1.4.1 and 1.4.2. All of them yielded the same error message.

I have no clue on which way to come around this problem.

Anyone, please help

Re: Firmware installation

Hi BobbyccW,

It seems you have a mistake on the board choosing:
x Arduino: 1.8.0 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
o Arduino: 1.8.0 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Micro"

Re: Firmware installation

Silly me!

Indeed I did not select the correct board.

Thank you so much Guvalif.
