BLOG > Arduino Contest Update and Expert Status

The element14 Arduino contest that I announced a few weeks ago has had its deadline extended!  You now have an extra two weeks to get your projects in.  Make sure you post them in the element14 Arduino group, and as a response to my youtube video by February 14th!  It’s Valentine’s Day, so it’s easy to remember!

In other news, I’m now the designated “Arduino Expert” on the element14 community boards!  You can ask me an Arduino question here.  Also, be sure to check out the press release.

  1. Hi Jeremy,
    After getting inspired by your video tutorials I have bought an Arduino board and tried out the 1st program in your tutorial.

    I get this error, I tried searching on blogs and did not succeed.

    You being an Arduino expert can you suggest me what is the reason for the failure and how do I resolve it?

    avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
    avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

  2. This indicates that your computer can’t talk to the arduino. Is the light on on the arduino? Do you have the right com port and board selected in the software? Where did you get the board from?

    1. Hi I recently purchased your book as well as an Arduino board from element 14. I followed all the steps from your book in terms of setting up yet I have the same problem as Abhinay Sarkate…

      Do you have any suggestions?

  3. hey
    i need help ! cause im also doing claw machine project but a small one so the engine n thats are small. and mostly my question is how the Arduino really works? is it possible to just the motors, joystick and button? andi also want to make one button to pick up the item(prize) drop it off to the box? im all good with body/frame and thats just really need help with board/ electronic/circuit etc : (

  4. hi, i m getting error please help me out :(

  5. Thanks for your tutorials, but I need help, now digitized audio with pic 16f887a 8 bit 11 kHz samples, the raw audio does my PC via serial port to 115200 there with visual basic I add header and I hear ok, but I want to bring that plot 115200 to make a arduino Ethernet and web server audio, html5 example, it is possible, you can help.
    Thank you very much.

  6. hello jeremy, i need ur help xD..
    just want to ask, can we made fire detector using arduino and when fire happen at certain place, the devices send the ip address of the place to the system monitoring. it is possible?? im not electricity expertise xD..im IT field, n still noob..ty

    looking forward to receiving ur respond soon..

  7. hi,
    i have used arduino uno in datalogger.but i didn’t get setisfied perfomance from arduino.i used arduino in cable production company.is arduino reliable for indusrial application?is arduino reliable for industrial environment?plz do rply
