POP! Project, POP-168 board

Getting start Arduino on POP-168

After download and install Arduino software on machine, configuration must be choose on the first times.

Step by step guide

Run “Arduino” program, Set microcontroller type, by menu : Tools -> Microcontroller (MCU) -> and select “atmega168″. (since Release 0010, this sub menu was changed to “Board” select instead , set Board -> Arduino Mini)

Set communication port, on menu : Tools -> Serial Port -> select “COM” port as POP-168 present

Open LED demo blinking example, on menu : File -> Sketchbook -> Examples -> Digital -> select “Blink” demo sketch

then prepare POP-168 into Bootloader

- Power off POP-168
- Hold BL switch , then Power on POP-168
- Release BL switch
If Blue LED on POP-168 was lighted and not blink,
then POP-168 had entered Bootloader mode and ready to uploaded.

Compile sketch and Upload to POP-168

Click Upload button on Arduino’s toolbar

wait for a while.. above Arduino’s console will shown message if uploaded sketch finish “Done uploading”, the red message was shown on Arduino 0008 and earlier only , on 0009 and newer had no these red message

if cannot upload.. Arduino’s console shown message no response if can not connect o POP-168, on Arduino 0008 and earlier show “Programmer is not responding”, on 0009 or newer show

“avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0×00

avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0×14, resp=0×51″ instead

After downloag complete, Reset the board again and check out your code running. Enjoy your work..
