Hardware & Technical DIY edtracker help

[nickajeglin]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, but I don't know where else to go.

I put together the edtracker on a breadboard as shown on the website, and I'm having trouble trying to flash the firmware. With the GUI tool I get a "bootloader port not found error". Since that didn't work, I tried to use the arduino IDE. I did install the custom IDE device for "EDtracker 6050". The COM port is correct. When I try to compile and upload the latest sketches from github, I get the following error messages: http://imgur.com/a/9Kgad

I have tried all of the USB ports on my computer, as well as several USB cables. I know that the board isn't dead, as I can flash the arduino examples without any issue.

I suspect that the problem is related to the specific arduino board clone I'm using. It's from my college, and you can see the technical information here: https://circuitmaker.com/Projects/Details/Jay-Carlson-2/Innovation-Board-Tiny

To flash the example programs, I need to set the board type to "arduino/ genuino uno" in the IDE.

Does anyone have any suggestions before I go buy the arduino clone that is suggested on the edtracker site?

For future reference if anyone finds this by searching:

The EDtracker firmware is based on the arduino leonardo, not the arduino uno. That means that you'll need an arduino clone based on the leonardo to make it work.

Hey cmdr!
Glad you sorted it out - can you post some pictures and a short revie (how good it's working for you)? Intetested in it since it's the only solution without camera dependency..
