I tried to to upload a hex file I generated for the Arduino Nano using avrdude but I keep getting the error:
avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
First the arduino board stops doing whatever it is programmed to do, in this case powering a vibration motor . Then this error keeps showing up in delays of around 10 seconds. That error is then followed by
avrdude: ser_recv(): read error: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application re
quest.
which appears to be caused by me pulling out the USB cable after waiting a while.
Thanks
