    Newbie Q, I guess ...

    So I am the proud owner of a nice Itead Rboard (4 relays).
    Other members here on the forum seem to got it working.

    As I have an old AVRISP MKII lying around, I thought I could just hook it up, select AVRIPS MK II programmer in ARDUINO IDE and go, but that seemed to good to be true :)
    On the AVRISP both LED's are green (on Rboard side and on USB side) but I don't know what's wrong.
    ARDUINO IDE seems to be looking for a com port which is not available with the AVRISP connected.

    So, do I need to purchase the FOCA ?
    Hopefully somebody can explain step-by-step instructions ?

    Thx,
    DirkB

      Use Arduino 1.6.13 and not 1.8, it's a problem related to fuses with clones...

      You need to program with another arduino nano (or other) as ISP

      Then use the following:

      Duemilanove > 328P
      arduino as ISP
      plug the 7-19v Vin on the rboard

      You may also have to burn the bootloader
      And maybe need to press manually reset button on rboard, personally i don't need to.

      I've been struggling for a while with this board.
