ARDUINO MEGA 2560 FIRMARE ERROR

[humanpaco]

I got this when I try to  upload the firmware to my 2560. Well I think that my interface is working perfectly because I can upload other projects

I think I installed everything in a correct way but It does not work, can someone help me?

You should use LINX because LIFA is no longer supported.  LINX also comes with a "Firmware Wizard" which will upload the sketch to the Arduino for you.

You can see the official post about it here.

I did install LINX before from

http://www.labviewmakerhub.com/linx

before but I do not know if I still have LIFA installed, if I could see LIFA in the VIPM I could remove the package but I do not actually see it by its own name. As you can see in my screenshot the packages MakerHub LINX and MakerHub Toolbox are installed. What can you recommed me? Should I remove the Labview Interface for Arduino and try to reinstall the LINX again?

[Nathan_B.]

You don't need to remove LIFA to use LINX.  You also don't need to re-install LINX if you have it installed already (unless you are having issues with LINX).

Thank you Nathan_B.!

I was wrong following the instructions for the LIFA package instead of following the instructions for LINX. I have to admit that I did not read "GETTING STARTED WITH LINX" from

https://www.labviewmakerhub.com/doku.php?id=learn:tutorials:libraries:linx:getting_started

Install LINX

1. Download LINX from the LabVIEW Tools Network.  

2. Install LINX using VIPM.

   • Installing LINX will automatically install the MakerHub toolbox.

3. Restart LabVIEW.

Load Firmware

1. Launch LabVIEW.  

2. Click Tools»MakerHub»LINX»Firmware Wizard…

3. Select your Device Family and Device Type and click Next.

4. Select the COM Port associated with your device and click Next.

5. Select the Firmware Version (it's easiest to start with the Serial/USB firmware) and click Next.

   • The TX and RX LEDs on your device should appear to be solid on for a few seconds while the firmware is deployed.  If you don't see this the firmware was likely not deployed.  

6. Click Launch Example and follow the instructions on the front panel.

This is what I followed to make my 2560 work, I noticed that somebody can get some error is they do not connect properly the cables

Best regards Nathan_B. and you all the comunity!
