Hey all,
my 3pi came in the mail the other day. I can’t seem to program it at all through the Arduino IDE.
Detailled error log is this:

Following conditions:
- 3pi is new. It arrived with a demo program loaded, which works fine.
- 3pi is powered by batteries at the time or programming (I did run a test with 3pi being powered through the programmer, same result)
- programmers are 2 different USBTinyISP devices. One commercial, one home-made. Both are known to work.
- Environment is 64bit Windows 7, IDE is Arduino IDE 1.6.6
- The add-on for the 3pi is the one linked in Programming Orangutans and the 3pi Robot from the Arduino Environment PDF - direct link to the addon
- Board selected in the ArduinoIDE is "Pololu Orangutan or 3pi robot w/ ATmega328P
- programmer selected in the ArduinoIDE is USBtinyISP
I did try to read the fuses of the chip on the 3pi after seeing
this thread on your forums - without success - by running this on the windows commandline:
the result is this:

Sequence of me doing things:
- connect programmer to PC
- power up the 3pi
- connect programmer to 3pi
- attempt to write program
Some things I’ve noticed:
- when I plug in the commercial USBTiny, the LCD display gets garbled and the buzzer sounds once. Neither happens with my home-made programmer
- if I connect the programmer to the 3pi first, and then to the PC, Arduino IDE doesn’t recognize the programmer at all
Everything tested with multiple different sets of freshly charged batteries, on multiple USB ports with 2 seperate cables. With that, I’m out of ideas. Any advice?
Thanks a ton in advance.
