Avr device not responding[SOLVED]

I cannot get the avrdude to work, please help!

I ran avrdude -c gpio -p m328p

avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.

avrdude done. Thank you.

And this is what I get when I run the troubleshooter

Hey robowarriror,
What image are you using right now on the Raspberry Pi. Is it our Raspbian for Robots image or something else. Is the GoPiGo connected to the raspberry pi.

-Karan

The GoPiGo is connected to the raspberry pi. I am not using the Raspbian for Robots image. Is the only way to fix it to use the Raspbian image?

I am using an SD card from Dexter Industries, and tried to modify the Wheezy installation using the install script.

Hey robowarrior,
The troubleshooting script does show that there are a lot of changes from the image that we have and that might be the reason avrdude is not responding. Maybe the changes that you made removed a lot of settings and programs on the image. I would suggest you to download and install the latest Raspbain for Robots and follow the guide here to burn it to the SD card. avrdude and all the other utilities should work properly with it.

-Karan

Hello

I’m new here and not sure being at the right place to upload my log.txt file made with the “Test and Troubleshoot” tool…
I tried to test a Pi2Go running with a raspberry py (SD Card with 2016.03.28-Dexter_Industries_wheezy image overwritten (following instructions)) ; everything is OK until step 5 “Using your GoPiGo for the first time” :
after updating firmware (motors disconnected), I run the basic program to test the robot and… it doesn’t move at all :frowning:
So I ran the “test and troubleshoot” : the robot turned on itself one time to the right and that’s all…
Here’s the log.txt file (saying “avr device not responding”) :

Thanks for your precious help.

Hey olivierfip,
Are you using a GoPiGo or a Pi2Go. Can you upload a picture of the setup.

-Karan

Hello Karan
Thanks for your reply.
I’m using a Pi2Go.

Olivier

Hey Oliver,
I think you have posted the question at the wrong forums. The product we sell is the GoPiGo (you can read more about it here: http://www.dexterindustries.com/gopigo/). All the content as well as our custom Raspberry Pi image, software and support on the forums is directed towards that product. Pi2Go is not our product and I think you can reach out to the makers of Pi2Go, 4tronix here: http://4tronix.co.uk/.

We dont know a lot about the Pi2Go so I dont think that we can help you with it. Feel free to ask anything about the GoPiGo or the Pi and we’ll be happy to help you out.

-Karan

Hello

oooppssss…
Sorry for that new newbie’s mistake.
Thanks for your detailed answer and time :slight_smile:
