![]() If it doesn't, that pin may have failed or have a bad connection. Write "Hello, World!\n" to serial output Ī test LED - an LED with its resistor soldered to it - connected between any I/O and ground should blink every 2 seconds. It's not an exhaustive test, it just checks for basic digital I/O, serial I/O, and shorts or opens: forever, I like the following (pseudo-coded) test sketch for quick-checking my hand-built boards it's just as handy for testing an unknown factory-built one. If you have another, working, Uno, and both have socketed microcontroller chips, you could use the known board to program a test sketch onto the unknown board's chip, put it back on the unknown board, and run it. NOTE Pin 1 is the top left one, marked with a white dot! If you look at the Arduino UNO, the ICSP header is to the right of the reset button. Due to a notch in at the 2x3 male connector of the programmer, the cable only fits here in one direction. As usual, the wire for pin 1 is marked red. My USB programmer came with a 6-wire ribbon cable with 2x3 female connectors on both sides. The UNO board responds with the correct signature and is ready for some action :) How to connect? Gives the following output avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions Here avrdude -c stk500v2 -p m328p -P /dev/ttyUSB0 In my case (mySmartUSB light) stk500v2 is a supported and port is /dev/ttyUSB0. Programmer-id depends on the device used. avrdude -c programmer-id -p partno -P portįor an Arduino Uno, partno is m328p. Supposed one owns a USB programmer, there's another way to inspect the Arduino.Ĭonnect the programmer to the ICSP pins of the Arduino and call avrdude with the right parameters to read the fuses of your Arduino. Online guides for getting started with Arduino are available at for Windows, for Mac OS X, and for Linux. If you are not using a standard board, it may not have a built-in LED on pin 13, so check the documentation for details of your board. ![]() If the green power LED is on but the pin 13 LED is not flashing, it could be that the factory code is not on the chip. ![]() If the pin 13 LED is flashing, the sketch is running correctly, which means the chip on the board is working. The flashing LED (connected to digital output pin 13) is being controlled by code running on the board (new boards are preloaded with the Blink example sketch). If the power LED does not illuminate when the board is connected to your computer, the board is probably not receiving power. Standard Arduino boards (Uno, Duemilanove, and Mega) have a green LED power indicator located near the reset switch.Īn orange LED near the center of the board (labeled “Pin 13 LED” in the image below) should flash on and off when the board is powered up (boards come from the factory preloaded with software to flash the LED as a simple check that the board is working). Plug the board into a USB port on your computer and check that the green LED power indicator on the board illuminates. Note : After the comment on my last post, I am posting this ! ![]()
