I stumbled across the BrewPi project bases on FuzzeWuzzes mammoth post on Homebrew talk, and as I already had been given an arduino as a christmas present last year and not found a project for it decided that I just needed to build one. So I ordered a Pi 2 (Model B 1GB), and a relay board.
After eventually getting the wifi dongle working I was waiting for a USD Type A-B cable to arrive, but found one in my box of bits, so linked up the UNO just to see what BrewPi looked like.
Following the excellent instructions. I ran the automatic install and everything appeared to work, apart from when I tried to upload the hex image and it told me I didn’t have the arduino-core installed . . .but that was simple to fix.
So I now have a SainSmart AT Mega 2560 Arduino ready to program, download the hex image for the Uno-RevC dated 01/07/2014, and try to upload using the settings
Board Type Mega 2560

I always get the same output as a result

I’ve even tried using XLoader to upload the hex image but the Pi reports that it is an old version or not programmed. I’m just downloading the IDE to this PC to check the Mega with Blink, but looking at the response in the log window, I think it’s fine.
Anyone Any ideas??
