No luck with Starter Robot kit (bluetooth) with Orion

#1

I am new to robots. I built the robot, installed the latest arduino ide, downloaded the makeblock library and put it in the correct directory. Then I downloaded the firmware, but when I tried to upload it to the board using the usb I get the error on Arduino

“Problem Uploading to the Board” This report would have more information with “Show verbose output during compilation” enabled in File > Preferences.
Arduino: 1.0.6 (Windows NT (unknown)), Board: "Arduino Uno"
avrdude: stk500_loadaddr(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x55
avrdude: stk500_paged_load(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x74
avrdude: stk500_cmd(): programmer is out of sync

I have no idea what this means. I checked to make sure I selected Uno and ttta I have the correct port number. I even checked to make sure the board was off. Can someone please help me get over this speedbump?

It would be better for all involved if you just got a refund.

I don’t agree.

I am also struggling to connect my mbot with bluetooth, and while in current terms i may not be as savvy, in the past i assembled apple pcs and ibm xt/at/pc, set dip switches etc…
