RFduino radio firmware update with Arduino Uno? How?

khofstadter · November 2017

Hello,

Can I upload 'RadioHost32bit.ino' with and Arduino Uno instead of options here? If yes, any tips on how?

Also when uploading this code, the board needs to be on PC right?

I am having difficulties uploading with the OpenBCI dongle:

Sketch uses 0 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 131,072 bytes.

expecting 14, got 46

fail.......fail.......fail.......

Thanks! k

K, hi.

See some related "expecting 14, got 46" comments in this thread,

You should not be using an Arduino Uno in the firmware upgrade process. Just follow these instructions,

Which arduino IDE version are you using?

I have not heard of someone using an Arduino Uno to upload code, sounds cool though. Did you use a capcitor?

You may need to just keep trying to upload the code, a lot of the time people fail to hold the pins on properly to the bottom of the cyton, if you have a solder iron, i'd say solder some wires to the bottom of the board for the upload if you keep running into problems.

Hello both,

Thank you.

I've tried several times, now I am considering soldering the pins to the board

Just to clarify, this message below usually indicate that I am not holding the pins down properly?

Sketch uses 0 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 131,072 bytes.

Or could there be another reason for this message?

This definitely means you are not holding them down. Try putting the pins through a header to make your life easier.

Thanks.

I've tried a few things, but no luck yet. Could you please check the video where I am trying to explain what I am doing - perhaps you can see the problem. Many thanks:
