No luck after adding -e to the install string. I’ll email Synthetos to see what can be done.
Thank you again. Your efforts are definitely appreciated.
August 9, 2015 at 5:22 am #8190cmcgrath5035ModeratorA double fast (double speed) Spin/Dir flash LED indicates that a limit switch has been activated.
Do you have limit switches enabled?
Perhaps disable them and see if the behavior improves.However, it sounds like you have no communication with tinyG whatsoever, so you won’t be able to reset the parameters.
August 10, 2015 at 2:15 pm #8206bvi8370MemberI haven’t installed limit switches yet. I went ahead and filled out the product support request form.

August 10, 2015 at 9:38 pm #8209bvi8370MemberI’m not sure if this might shed light on the problem I’m having, but the code below is what I see when I reconnect to chilipeppr. There are green checks next to every line before {“mt”:””}. After that there are yellow checks and the buffer stops responding. I hope Synthetos will not burn me on this one. Even though I bought the board just over a month ago. I’ve yet to cut the first part using it.

August 11, 2015 at 7:27 am #8213cmcgrath5035ModeratorWhat you show is the CP start-up command sequence, which it uses to query tinyG for current state and status on initial connect.
I see no responses, sounds like you are sending but not receiving.Spin/Dir flashing thru all this?
November 30, 2015 at 11:15 am #9041nicholasleighMemberi have the same problem with mine. Turned it on and the spindir is contantly flashing
November 30, 2015 at 11:22 am #9042nicholasleighMemberis there anything i can try while waiting?
November 30, 2015 at 11:39 am #9045cmcgrath5035ModeratorPig pile! Unfortunately, you are the second this morning and (at least) fourth in the past week to report this.
What you report may/may not be same as the thread you added on to.
Please start a new item, summarize what happened to your machine and report
1. FW version you think you were running on tinyG (440.20 is most recent)
2. CP or Coolterm? If CP, what version of SPJS?
3. Were you running mature Gcode (has run before) or something new?
4. What upgrade technique were you using (CLI, SPJS updater, ?) ?
5. Your CP OS (Win, Mac, Linux) and your CP Browser (Firefox, Chrome,?) if CP userThen keep you eye on the forum for developments, we already have a lot of input and folks are looking
November 30, 2015 at 12:33 pm #9048MockTurtleMemberjust curious if OP (bvi8370) ever solve the problem?
reading the post his board was probably purchased around the same time as mine (mine shipped in july)…. a bad batch maybe?November 30, 2015 at 9:30 pm #9050prariehomeMemberSame trouble!!!!! I have tried to download update but no verification. un plugged all motors switches and still just get a flashing light on sp dir.
Switched from a windows 64 to my macbook pro and no luck.
When I tried to update this is what came up…No communication
tinyg updater
This also came up on another try

December 1, 2015 at 8:56 am #9060cmcgrath5035ModeratorBTW, read this, I am suspicious that you are in same boat
December 7, 2015 at 9:09 am #9086nicholasleighMember.Has this issue been solved yet? Im still waiting to hear back and was told to wait because i could do the fix myself instead of sending the board back for a replacement. Its been 6 days now since i have had any contact. I was told that there would be a write up before ril3y gets the boads to look at and i could test to see if it fixes the problem but ive herd nothing since.
January 14, 2016 at 9:11 am #9266maraMemberRiley created this page if you have or want to buy an AVRISP MKII and fix it yourself, got my tinyg working;
