Hi, I am currently doing a project for an electric car that has to move a certain distance as close as possible with the least error as possible. I got the Pololu 6.3:1 Metal Gearmotor 37Dx65L mm 12V with 64 CPR Encoder (Helical Pinion), Pololu VNH5019 Motor Driver Carrier, and the Pololu A-Star 32U4 Mini SV, powered by a 12V power supply. I first verified that the microcontroller worked, and it worked fine, but once I connected everything together, the A-Star stopped working and instead read the following error code in arduino IDE:
Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = “CATERIN”; type = S
Software Version = 1.0; No Hardware Version given.
Programmer supports auto addr increment.
Programmer supports buffered memory access with buffersize=128 bytes.
Programmer supports the following devices:
Device code: 0x44
I tried doing some troubleshooting on this issue, like trying to upload code while it is in bootloader mode and resetting, and also verifying that I am using the correct cable, but all the tests lead that I have a corrupted bootloader. I was wondering if this is what this error code means, and if it is, how to fix it, and also how to correctly wire together all these components because I assume that is what caused the issue.
Thanks your for help.
