Arduino IDE stopped uploading sketches to BLEduino board

Question

I know similar questions to this have been asked before, but I have a "resp=0x10" which I haven't found elsewhere, so maybe it's different, the board is also not an Arduino Uno although it's should be fully compatible with it in adition to the Bluetooth part.

I'm a beginner to Arduino (and electronics in general) and I bought a Bleduino board. It was working without problems, I've tested a servo and a DC motor (with a motors shield) without problems. But, it suddenly stopped working! I basically can't upload any sketch no matter what I try, giving me this error (10 attempts):

 Using Port : COM11

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x10
avrdude done. Thank you.

I did try the reset button before uploading (actually tried both black and white reset buttons on this board), double checked I'm using the correct board and ports.

I've used an old 12V power supply with 1000mA, so maybe that damaged the main chip? The L and LINK LEDs light up though when connected to usb or jack, and the bluetooth also connects to the IOS App.

I read [this][3] thorough answer for similar problems and my board passes the loopback test, but while uploading, only the L and RX LEDs flash!

Have I damaged the main chip? Do I have to buy a AVR programmer and burn a new Bootloader?

Edit:

• ahmad: Thank you Nick! I think I'll have to wait then till I buy an Arduino board and test with.

Answer 1

Looking at this post about the uploading process a response of 0x10 is STK_OK. Now while that looks fine, if the uploader is expecting STK_INSYNC then it's not OK.

I suggest you go through more of the steps in the link you posted.

You could use the "board detector" sketch mentioned on that page, to see if the main chip is completely gone, or if there is another issue. Other issues might be things plugged into D0 and D1, wrong baud rate, wrong clock rate, etc.

• ahmad adel: Hi again!, I've an Arduino Uno and tested with and apparently I have a failed ATmega16U2 chip!
• Nick Gammon: It seems odd to me that a failed chip makes any sort of response. You reported it responded STK_OK each time.
• ahmad adel: I followed your instructions about that chip testing and I got: ` Atmega chip detector. Written by Nick Gammon. Version 1.18 Compiled on Apr 9 2016 at 23:55:08 with Arduino IDE 10607.
