Metro Mini 328 Not Uploading

Post by fisc8617 »

I am not sure if this is just me doing something wrong or if there is an issue with the board. I just bought a metro mini 328, I installed the drivers, selected the write COM port and Board(Uno) but I am getting the error:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding


After some troubleshooting I may have narrowed it down to the bootloader not being installed or something but I want to double check before I go and try to figure out how to reflash the bootloader. When I press the reset but I do not see the L LED blink 3 times like mentioned elsewhere. The power LED is on and when I try and upload I see the TX LED blink 3 times sorta slowly. Should the L LED blink when I press reset or does that not apply to this board?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you plug in theboard does it recognize the board? I'll see if I can find any reason for your problem.

It shows up as the USB to UART bridge. Is that how it should show up or should I be expect "Arduino UNO" or something?

If it goes away when you unplug the mini then that's the one.

It does. Is there a way for me to check if the bootloader is messed up on the metro mini? I saw pressing the reset button on most arduinos is supposed to make the L LED blink 3 times showing the bootloader is working. Does this apply to the metro mini?
