Hi, since yesterday evening gamebuino has stopped working.
It showed only a blank screen, with only the sound working.
Today i have try to format and reload hex file, but now it shows "Insert SD card and restart."
What can i do?

Blank screen with sound working means that your screen may have moved and got misaligned.
When you Gamebuino displays "Insert SD card and restart." it's a different problem, it means that the loader program can't read the micro SD card. You say you formatted it, did you format it in FAT16 ? The bootloader is not compatible with FAT32 formatting.
You can upload program using the USB port.

I'm a Mac user and i have used this command from terminal:
- Code: Select all
newfs_msdos -F 16 /dev/disk1s1
where disk1s1 was the sd card

I haven't find drivers the Arduino/drivers folder.
But i have downloaded using the arduino guide.
Now i can upload program using USB port, but loader shows the same message.

I test each Gamebuino with their respective micro SD card before I ship them, so so problem probably comes from the way you formatted the micro SD card. Could you try to format it with a another computer running Windows or Linux ?

I have used another command to format SD card, and now works!
The command:
- Code: Select all
diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk1 1 MBRFormat "MS-DOS FAT16" "GAMEBUINO" 120M
Thanks!
