Sensebender Micro
-
It's using a standard ftdi header, as used in the arduino mini pro.
About the testmode, you should hold A0 to GND, while applying power to the unit. Then it starts spewing data to the serial port.

I had meant that i put it in test mode to try and program it.
getting it in test mode worked. i could see the led blinking.however when i gave up and put the radio back on and turn it on, i guess it had actually taken my upload.
it was reporting in F now.
so i know the DTR does the auto reset, i guess upload works, but no reset and/or completed msg in the IDE.i ordered a new programmer anyway with DTR.

Hi,
I've received some boards and all working good.
I'd like to upload a new sketch to the Sensebender Micro board and I'm attempting to do this via the FTDI FT232RL USB to TTL serial converter adapter that I purchased here (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221552218333).
Could someone kindly confirm the pin to pin mapping between the FTDI board and the Senseboard Micro as when I attempt to upload I receive the message:
Programmer Type : butterfly Description : Atmel AppNote AVR109 Boot Loader Connecting to programmer: .avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.I'm using Arduino 1.6.5 running on Windows 8.1 (inside parallels on a Mac).
Any ideas?
Thank you
Nutz

Thanks @hek. I've had to run Arduino on Windows before because of compatibility issues with certain chip sets on Arduino boards and I didn't fancy running unsigned drivers on my Mac to resolve... I'm able to upload sketches to other boards with no issues.
That said, I've updated Arduino to 1.6.5 on my Mac and have attempted to upload the default Sensebendermicro.ino sketch to the micro with a similar error:
Arduino: 1.6.5 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Micro" Build options changed, rebuilding all Sketch uses 26,414 bytes (92%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28,672 bytes. Global variables use 799 bytes (31%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,761 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,560 bytes. Found programmer: Id = "�d��b�"; type = F Software Version = �.�; Hardware Version = �.� avrdude: error: buffered memory access not supported. Maybe it isn't a butterfly/AVR109 but a AVR910 device?

Hi @hek, I've never had to change the programmer setting before... I've changed it to USBasp and re-uploaded but same error. I've always used the menu options Sketch=>Upload to upload a sketch to the board. Should I be using Sketch=>Upload via programmer for this micro board ? If so, that fails too but something to do with it not being able to find the USB device.

Thanks @hek, I also realised my mistake once I retraced my steps...I hadn't scrolled down fully on that screenshot that shows the Sensebender Micro board... I think what through me is that screenshot also shows a "dot" against another board - the Arduino Micro board...and I was selecting that... duh! (may be worth changing the screenshot? ;))
Anyway, thanks for your help...sketch uploaded perfectly after that!

Received my Micros today. Luckily there was no custom and a lot of pins to solder. Can't wait to solder them on wednesday on work and test them.
Is there any instruction how to solder everything? On which side the radio module needs to be soldered.

I hope this question has not been answered already and I did not miss the answer. I was thinking about connecting a motion sensor to this and was hoping that one of the digital pins supports an interrupt. Is there an interrupt available?

I'm planning to do the same thing.
i ordered my 5v step up regulators to support the PIR sensor.
although I hope adding the motion isnt going to kill the batteries. -

I have so far had no problems running my PIR sensors at 3.3v with the following hack.http://techgurka.blogspot.com/2013/05/cheap-pyroelectric-infrared-pir-motion.html
You can not do this with all PIR Sensors from what I understand, but one of the ones listed in the MySensors store is what I've been using. Go down to the bottom of the article.
