I can't take the resetting anymore! (help thread)
So, I got my 'guino over 1.5 months ago... built it, tested it on pc - seemed to work ok.
installed in car - worked fine for awhile (5 min) then reset. And reset. And reset.
I struggled to remove the lcd screen several times over a couple weeks until I came across the thread describing the desoldering braid two days ago. I picked up some at the Shack, desoldered for a ridiculously long time, and ended up using brute force to snap the lcd plugs off the lcd board. I cleaned up a couple of ugly solders and retouched every single one.
I tried to reload the arduino bootloader per the instructions, and it resets during the upload, and the arduino program says, "problem uploading to board"
Is this a symptom of something in particular? The device seems fine, but exactly 27 seconds into the arduino "upload to I/O board" it resets. Sitting here, I don't think it's ever reset on its own. I will leave it plugged in to the pc overnight to see if it resets on its own.
Anyone want a free mpguino to diagnose? I'm pretty much ready to get DCB's premade one - I was ready before they were available, but I do enjoy to DIY, so I tried to build it. Now I just want to get back to the fun of ecomodding. Argh. [/rant]
thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Matt
