Need some help newbie. I am unable to program my Arduino mega2560 R3 with flowcode 5. I have tried the Arduino software and was able to send sample blink file to mega. Below is the message I get back from flowcode software. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

I always use the AVRisp module to program the Arduino.
Though it is possible to program it via the usb from flowcode directly, after changing some FC setings.

Information can be found on the following links

Still not able to file to Ardiuno using flowcode. Hex file is created at the least! Have to use some other program to load hex file to Ardiuno. Bummer I have tried everything on this forum and no luck.

Hey Thanks for all the input.

HI
Have attached an fcs file for you to try, unzip it, open flowcode click build, compiler options, select import, browse to the unzipped file, select it click open then ok, you will then need to check the port your arduino is on and click the compiler options/programmer tab and change the com port to the same as yours.

Try it again and let us know how you get on, if it doesnt work for you then there are other things to try
