So, I've been tinkering all morning and think I've made some headway.
I installed and got working all the Arduino software, installed libraries and other stuff, but kept getting error message:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
found a fix in the forum :
http://3dwest.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/ar ... 0recv.htmlthis then wouldn't give me the option of using a USB port to interact with an arduino.
Found another fix on the Arduino site forums, installing drivers :
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htmThis made a USB serial port appear in my list.
I opened the Example>Gamebuino>Utilitys>Loader , verified and uploaded. the lights flashed on the Gamebuino and i got a "Uploading Done" from the Arduino software.
I then get a full screen message on the Gamebuino "Insert SD card and restart". The SD card was in and had been formatted before uploading the loader programme. I assumed this was maybe because no other programs where on the card. I plugged the card directly into my computer to find nothing was there (not even the loader I just uploaded). I reformatted and put the card back into the Gamebuino. Re-uploaded the Loader, and then Uploaded Settings. I get settings to work but the C butting won't take me back to the loader. I look again at what the SD card has on it ..... nothing again.
So my questions are:
When I upload the the Gamebuino via the USB cable, does it go onto the SD card or onto some internal memory?
If so, what programme should be on this internal memory to get the SD card reader to work?
Thanks again
