Werk,
I am at a loss to understand what is causing the problem of uploading;
The file compiles, the port and board are correct and i have tried Uncle Bobs suggestion of powering the board as well when uploading, tried three different computers all to no avail.
I have ordered a new module and am waiting it's arrival to see if that will connect and programme.
Below is a copy of part of the upload error message.
Any suggestions as to what i am doing wrong would be welcome!!
Regards
Jim
