| Jul 30, 2013 at 15:29 | comment | added | sherrellbc | @ crasic Most of the digital pins were wired to an LCD - one was wired as input to tactile switch to check its state and two were PWN connected to servos. The Analog pins were wired into a voltage-divider configuaration with photoresistors. The 5V and GND pins were just wired to busses on a breadboard. | |

| Jul 30, 2013 at 8:59 | comment | added | crasic | if you have a second arduino handy, you can make it into an isp pretty easily, see tutorial | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 8:56 | comment | added | crasic | I get that it works bare, what did you have using those 8 dio pi and 2 analog pins? How did you have them wired up? This can help determine if the bootloader is corrupt (likely) or if you damaged the chip the way you hooked it up (less likely, but possible). obviously the easiest way to check is reburn the bootloader, but you don't have an isp. | |

| Jul 30, 2013 at 5:15 | comment | added | sherrellbc | @crasic I mean that I literally have no additional pins plugged into the headers.The headers are still soldered to the arduino board, but I do not have any wires plugged into them. Its just a plain arduino with a usb connection to my computer. Before: I was using the 5V, GND, two Analog pins, and 8 Digital pins (2 were PWM).It looks like this: arduinodev.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/09950-01.jpg | |

| Jul 30, 2013 at 5:12 | comment | added | kR105 | What exactly do you have connected to the board? | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 5:11 | comment | added | crasic | What did you have connected to the board before, what do you mean by "unplug the data pins" are you removing the header from the board? | |

| Jul 30, 2013 at 5:10 | comment | added | crasic | The bootloader talks to the IDE to start uploading the sketch, Its not possible to rewrite the bootloader sector without overwriting the code doing the loading. I've used the USBtinyISP with success, its very cheap too. | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 5:06 | comment | added | sherrellbc | I also tried to reburn the bootloader via the IDE, but had the same problem. Presumably because the same interface is required to upload the bootloader. It was worth a try. I researched solutions and someone succeeded after doing that. I actually went ahead and ordered an UNO. I had been thinking about it anyway but needed the reason. I also read that someone solved a similar problem by using a second arduino to 'flash' .. etc etc. I don't remember what it was exactly and will have to read more into it, but it's also worth a try. | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 5:03 | comment | added | sherrellbc | I don't. I was looking to purchasing one though; is there a particular one you suggest for beginning? I really am not sure which to get. I mean't that if I unplug all of the data pins then it will upload fine (on Windows, Linux still does not work). I was using the 5V, GND, two Analog pins, and 8 Digital pins (2 were PWM). | |
| Jul 30, 2013 at 4:57 | comment | added | crasic | I would say a bootloader corruption, since stk500 refers to the ISP that the bootloader is emulating. But the fact that you can upload fine if you strip the board is strange. Considering that there is an LED hardwired to a digital IO pin on the board, you can't "unplug everything", so what did you have plugged in before? Do you have an ISP available to use to reload the bootloader? | |
