| Jul 16, 2014 at 20:54 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | A genuine UNO from Arduino.cc shouldn't require driver installation on OSX, and should come with a bootloader expecting a baud rate already configured in the Arduino IDE, should give you more space for programs, and is a product with a generally strong reputation for quality control. Beyond that though, we don't actually know what the problem with your current alternate source mega8 board is. | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 20:52 | comment | added | Rajath | still not working. will buy a atmega328 best. UNO will not have the same problem right? | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 18:53 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | No, that has nothing to do with the bootloader. You need to generate new board configurations in a boards.txt file on your PC giving different possible baud rates, then restart the IDE and try them. | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 18:52 | comment | added | Rajath | u mean something like this ? | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 18:41 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | I think you may have to create a new "board" entry in the configuration and edit the baud rate in its file, then restart the IDE. You might as well create several for different board rates. | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 18:28 | comment | added | Rajath | how do u change the baud rate? i have taken up a project which was not completed by my senior. so he has used that board. | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 17:49 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | You do seem to have device files for that driver in your list. If it didn't work when you selected those, you might have the wrong baud rate (from the chosen board configuration). Another possibility (especially with alternate sources) is that you have a bad board - the CP2102 chip might be okay, but that doesn't mean that the AVR is, or that is has a bootloader programmed. I'd probably try different baud rates, try burning a bootloader via ISP, etc. But ultimately, why are you bothering with an ATmega8 board? | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 17:44 | comment | added | Rajath | first i installed FTDI. as it dint work and then i found this link as one of the answers were to install silabs drivers i installed them too. but not working. i tried this before only. really appreciate ur effort to help me out. | |
