Hello, I'm also getting the "Cannot get programmer version, aborting" message when trying to upload a sketch to my Pro. I've tried the suggestions provided to others but continually get the same message. To date I've tried the following with no luck: - Ensuring that I have the correct port selected (tried again after removing every last trace of FTDI software from my Win7 pc). - Changing cables and ports on my pc. - The Zap 2.2.0 IDE bootloader approach as well as the approach described in the "LogicStart MegaWing Example" sketch. - Looking at it sternly to try and guilt it into working. - Ensured that Papillio Programmer is selected as the programmer. - Tried each of the Pro LX9 ZPUino boards when burning the bootloader and trying to upload code. I can see the TX light flashing when I try to upload and, as the others have stated, the AVR quickstart works just fine so I'm at a loss. My environment is Win7-64, Zap IDE 2.2.0, Loader 2.6 and the board says "BPC3011 V1.3". Any suggestions? Thanks, David
