    I see in the picture in 2:26 that there is something connected to the ground and the reset of the working Arduino. This is not mentioned. Do we have to connect to the ground the reset pin?

      A capacitor of 10 µF is connected between RESET of the functionning arduino and the ground.

    is there a way to install the bootloader without a working arduino? thank you in advance

  • @karljay7473

    I bought one because I didn't know there was a difference. The $2 saved was enough for a nice case when bought as a combo, but I though the board was broken. Found the loaders online for the Mac and it works. It times out when I have the serial monitor open, but otherwise seems to be working fine. I understand there is another option, you can buy a loader that doesn't use what is on the board. They cost around $10 and some seem to like that option as it bypasses the onboard loader, but I see it as a waste of money when the cheap onboard ones will work and I can buy a good sensor for that money.

    Please consider choosing Arduino Duemilanove from list instead of UNO if you cannot write a new bootloader. From 12 CH340 UNO ordered from China, 3 where Duemilanove. Different times, different orders.

    Your video title seems to suggest that the "bad" Chinese clones are faulty. They aren't. They just use a different hardware solution for the USB connectivity. So they aren't bad. Just using different ( cheaper ) hardware.
    Issues are PC software related.

      check your arduino ide setup. especially the "board" and the "processor" settings. try processor settings saying "old bootloader". it worked for me, since these chinese dont give a fuck.

  • @NivagSwerdna
    @NivagSwerdna 8 лет назад +5

    One thing to look out for on the cheap clones is the type of oscillator used by the processor. Mostly they are resonator based but these have very wildly varying values, well out of specification in some cases. If timing is important then you might like to look out for the more traditional metal can quartz oscillators, and these are often cheaper too! Also surprisingly I have started to come across some clones that don't have an LED on Pin 13.... best avoided if you want to run Blink!

  • @01sigh
    @01sigh 2 месяца назад

    If you're trying to use this now (i.e. 2024) you may still have some troubles. Try changing the processor. Tools -> Processor -> ATmega328P (Old Bootloader). That worked for me along with the driver.

  • @DeeegerD

    The clone was never broken - just a different communications chip and no boot loader - that's not broken, it's just not configured properly. An Arduino is just an Atmel microcontroller chip with supporting hardware and a dumbed down programming interface. When you buy from China expect to have to do some work to get things running as they don't pay their employees much and I imagine the training is even worse than the pay ;) If you are not technically inclined buy the real thing until you learn more. I have to say the Chinese clones are a deal though once you know what you are doing, sometimes I can buy a Nano clone for less than the cost of the microcontroller chip alone.

    • @johnmalcolm9980

      Never correct someone if you know what they mean. Changes were made within the clone.

    • @nikosadie
      @nikosadie 5 лет назад +1

      That is why I buy them. They work well for my simple projects. Once you have it set up, they all work fine. I had to build several water sensor systems for our wine cellar and the chinese nano's were very cheap and after a few minutes I got them all working. I still have some genuine Arduino boards, but I use them for bigger projects.

    • @cipstechitips1574

    Good video but unfortunately it did not work out for me.

Do a search on "FTDI FT232R driver" you'll be orientated to the manufacturer website with win/mac installers. My Arduino compatible clone now works perfectly :)

    I created a program which writes data to the serial port via Serial.writeln() inside a loop, and now I cannot upload a new sketch any more, presumably because my program floods the serial port with too much data, rendering it inoperable (?) Have I just permanently bricked it?
    Someone suggested pressing the reset button just at the right moment, but I had no success with this. The card is a nano.

    I did the process twice but am still getting the upload error when trying to load "blink." I wired the original working UNO to the chinese UNO exactly 10 to 10, 11 to 11, etc. burned the bootloader...still doesn't work. Any ideas? The chinese uno has a micro USB as opposed to the original..but that should not make a difference.

    If your chinese Arduino clone does not explode on plug in and does a "blinky led" thing, chances are there is already a bootloader installed, but an ANCIENT ONE. Arduino IDE "can" handle this, of you switch "processor type" tp "old bootloader" . or upgrade the bootloader by follow the bootload install instructions here.

  • @dalefirmin5118
    @dalefirmin5118 6 лет назад

    My Arduinos are all clones but not the cheapest--next to the cheapest. You see, I only buy the ones with a DIP chip and not the surface mounted chip. They cost a little more. My reasoning is that if I screw something up and destroy the chip, I only need replace the chip. I purchased a mess of chips some time ago and, using another Arduino as a programmer, burned the boot loader into all of them and tested them. (I mark the chips with installed bootloaders with a yellow dot of paint.) I now have a supply of ready-to-use replacement chips if ever I should destroy one accidentally. I can also prototype on my Uno and pull the chip to drop into any custom circuit that I make for a permanent project.
    I've never had a problem with any fake, clone, whatever. I believe that I had installed the drivers way back when I first installed my IDE. I grabbed a lot of other stuff at the same time so I don't remember exactly the details. I've never purchased an Arduino that didn't have a good bootloader but apparently it does happen, hence this video.

    can the same procedure be carried for Arduino Due??
    which driver to use ...etc??

    Hmmm , you need a real arduino uno to fix a non-working clone? So you have to invest for the real and the clone? Or what is the workaround here?

    • @TomHeylen1
      @TomHeylen1  3 года назад +1

      You need 1 working one, real or clone. So you can buy clones as much as you want. Have a good one and enjoy your project.

    Hello Tom, I Can't upload the sketch arduino isp to the genuine bord.
    I get a red error text! I did try several times after reboot the whole system.
    I have selected the proper com-port. 😢

    • @TomHeylen1
      @TomHeylen1  9 лет назад +1

      Try harder. It should work at the end. Haha just joking.
      If you can upload the blink sketch to your arduino, you should be able to upload the arduinospi sketch. Let me know if shit doesn't work.

    Just get Leonardo's, cheap clones or genuine, and you never have a problem. As a bonus you get double UART, USB-HID, non-shared SPI pins and double the analog inputs.

  • @consig1iere294
    @consig1iere294 8 лет назад

    Hi Tom, quick question, I recently found a Uno for $3 USD. In the item description it says, the reason for such a low price is because they "replaced 16u2". I don't know what that means, is that a good or a bad thing?

    • @TomHeylen1
      @TomHeylen1  8 лет назад

      Don't know what the 16u2 stands for. But it is probably the atmega328p-pu chip they replaced with a smaller and therefor cheaper on. They all work fine. The chip is smaller in size but the same in performance.

    • @jparky1972
      @jparky1972 8 лет назад +1

      The 16u2 chip is the chip used on original Arduino Uno Rev 2 and 3.
      The very chip replaced on these clone chips that Tom is suggesting are faulty.
      *rolls eyes*
      Please don't do a video on something Tom that you only have part of the details on.
      You propogate this bad information to everyone else who take it as gospel.

    • @consig1iere294
      @consig1iere294 8 лет назад +1

      I don't think he is suggesting that, the video is about how to fix just the bad ones.

    • @jparky1972
      @jparky1972 8 лет назад +1

      Part of my beef with this is the use of the words "Fix" and "Bad" in the video description.
      "Fix" suggests the boards are broken. They are not. The PC it is plugged into is missing a driver. That's all.
      "Bad" suggests that the boards are not very good. From personal experience of using original and clone boards. I personally have had no issues with any clone boards. Some actually being better in some cases than the original Arduino boards. i.e. a second row of pin holes on the board allowing header pins to be soldered in place. Or additional 5v, 3.3v and Ground placements on the board.
      My final gripe is that Tom is answering questions on here he doesn't seem to know. The 16u2 chip is used on the later Uno's and Mega's as the interface chip for the USB. Not the actual ATMEL 328p-pu chip he suggested which is the actual processor and 'heart' of the Arduino board.
      The clone arduino's often use the CH340 chip as it's simply cheaper than the 16u2 chip.
      The rest of the board is usually pretty much identical to an original Arduino board.
      Meh.

    • @Ghryst
      @Ghryst 7 лет назад

      the gold chip is a custom made component, it cannot be bought without license and needs to be specially manufactured.
      anything can be counterfeited, but in this case the price would be just as high as the real thing

    One extra thing I had to do to get it all to start working on Windows10 was to turn off Windows Firewall, do the first upload and then turn the Windows Firewall back on. After that, works perfectly with Firewall turned on.
