Hello
after having installed Arduino with the NiboRoboLib I wanted to upload a first sketch to the Nibo2 over the attached UCO-IR2 programmer. When I first "verified" the sketch the following error message appeared:
Bootloader file specified but missing: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\nicai\avr\bootloaders\DoNotEraseTheBootloader
Arduino is installed in Windows 7. In Linux I was not able to install the NiboRoboLib Thorough description on install steps are welcome.

Note: up to now I was not able to upload any sketch with any programming environment and dont know how to upload any programm from Roboter.cc !

Where can I find and install a correct bootloader? Thank you very much. I am a newbie in arduino, Nibo2 and UCO-IR2.

Hi bluesailor,

NIBO robots does not use a bootloader - the entire chip can be programmed by the user!
Just ignore the warning from the Arduino-GUI...

Hi workwind
thank you very much for your fast response.
I managed now to install Arduino on Linux and managed to install the arduino parts of NiboRoboLib_304 (library and hardware). Now on Tools it shows: nicai systems NIBO2 robot and in programmer: UCOM-IR2 / UCOM-IR2-X (stk500v2)
Now when I verify the first trivia sample sketch from nicai, error message:

sketch is as follows:
#include <NIBO2.h>
#include <NIBO_GFX.h>

void setup() {
NIBO2.begin();
}

void loop() {
NIBO2.setLed(0, LED_RED);
delay(500);
NIBO2.setLed(0, LED_GREEN);
delay(500);
}

how can I include missing macro?
Thanks a lot

to use arduino 1.6.13 under linux you have to replace the fileby the file
that should do it

Thank you workwind
you helped me a lot. I am now able to compile the program and am ready to upload.
unfortunately I am now stuck with the error:

avrdude: stk500v2_command(): command failed
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1

After connecting the programmer to the PC the LED is continuous green. After command failed it is continuous red.
I have left the programmer UCOM-IR2-X unchanged as it was delivered - jumper JP1 still in place (No firmware upgraded).

Is there something wrong with the firmware on the programmer????

Remove JP1 and try again!
