That's really amazing!

Coming along really nice!
Did you also write the music?

@Erico: nope, that is "Rocket" by Kevin McLeod (see Youtube description). I should have mentioned it in the video. He is a pro musician.

Oh my...I was starting to think you wear 367 hats.

So this week, trying to finalize "Operation: Fox" just everything stops working.

1) none of my sd cards are being detected anymore. No matter how I format, partition, whatnot, no matter what card petitfs, tinyfat, sdfatlib all: SD card can not be initialized. I have 2 fakebuinos and 3 cards, no combination of anything works anymore. And all of them were fully functional before. All of my lovely streaming video out of SD card. All of them totally stopped working.

2) my other fakebuino has stopped responding to serial programming. Bootloader checked, doesn't matter wheteher it is normal optiboot or gamebuino bootloader. I've tried a FT232 programmer, a Prolific programmer and a Silicon Labs Cp2102 programmer. No sync. No problem with programming with USBASP, no problem in serial comms, but Avrdude... no go. At all. And yes, tried other versions of Arduino IDE and another computer as well.

I am so freaking sick and tired of AVR's and especially this crappy SD card that is so bloody finicky with anything you do with it.

Time to order some real gamebuinos. :)

First thing I'm gonna do is chuck Arduino 1.6.4 IDE out and re-install 1.0.5

[jonnection]

Out with 1.6.4, in with 1.0.5 r2

... its working ... hmm. Something is going wrong when the 1.6.4 IDE burns the bootloader.

In case anyone wants to see what the start of an upload from Arduino IDE to the device looks like,
here is a zoomed and joined screenshot of what is going on after the reset pulse

[jonnection]

As incredible as it is, loader is also working now. Only thing i did was i went back to IDE 1.0.5

Therefore Arduino IDE 1.6.4 is cursed

The thrills of a game coder life!
