Postby vodoochild_ar80 » Mon May 24, 2010 1:33 am

Seems i found a problem with my MD nothig to bad, just that i want to upgrade to newer version of firmware but when i press left key to enter bootloaders menu, nothing happens just starts as always, keys works fine since i can navigate de entire menu of my MD and configurate at will..., so... im gonna have to use the ISP cable to program the atmega again?
Just to be clear, my MD works great just cant upgrade the firmware the easy way, any clue?

PD:sorry my bad english

You most likely don't have a bootloader programmed into Atmega.
