Is my beloved Arduino gone?
That was the question I was asking me when I saw those fatal words on the Arduino IDE. Indeed, I was trying to use some servos and I was afraid that there some current overload have occurred on some pins. I immediately unwired all the motors and started thinking.
After some trials I realized! I just connected the Arduino to the left usb port instead of the usual one on the right side of my Mac. These two are mapped to different ports of course and the IDE was still looking for the right one. Indeed, the IDE memorizes the last used port. I changed the name of the port in the menu "Tools" and that solved the problem! This time I was lucky...
Things to try
If you have the same error, you can try the following (increasing difficulty):- verify the usb cable (one never knows ;-) )
- change the port in the menu "Tools"
- take off the ATMEL chip and verify if the chip is ok
- if the chip is ok, try to load the bootloader again
I'm afraid that if none of the above steps works you should replace your Arduino!
Hope it helps!
