any suggestions

Hi Guys

I have a problem with my WACOM UD-1212-R when i put pen on digitizer the light stays red no response i have checked the pen on another pad i works fine
so i guess its the pad any suggestions 

Laptop monitors are thin, so the heat gets out easily through the plastic even without holes.
Foam is the best for isolation but if you have a bit of a hole somewhere (you said at the top) then it's probably enough to let the heat go gently without hurting anything.

Hmm, I'd never thought about it. But I mean it does have a large gaping hole at the top where the connectors are since I didn't have a way of covering that up. In my experience it doesn't get very hot. I wouldn't think it'd need much ventilation given that it's a laptop monitor but you've more experience than I do

Open Arduino IDE, grab any example sketch (blinking one) and upload it to Your board.
If You cannot do that, You're doing it wrong or have broken board. Both problems cannot be resolved by me remotely.
If You have no problems with writing any example sketch, turn on "verbose mode" and upload it again. You'll able to copy whole command from ardiuno IDE console and run it from terminal window.

If that way works, then use hex file generated by WaxBee rather than one generated by Arduino compiler.

How do I use the hex file?

BTW, i heard that some tablets detects and reports distance of hovering above the surface. It's true or just a speculation?

There is a setting called "Reading Height" in TabletMagic's settings. The default seems to be 8mm+. I don't remember what other option(s) is.

As I wrote. ProMicro comes with (ugly) bootloder. You can use that bootloader. You should:
- connect Pro Micro to USB port
- wait 10s
- grab spare wire and short two pads on the board: GND and RST. But it's not as simple. You should simulate button and do a double click within less than a second. That forces boart into bootloader mode.
- wait for drivers installation.
- find what COM port are assigned to Your board.
- on Windows open terminal and send command as acediac wrote on forum:
avrdude -v -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -P\\.\COM4 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:gd-0405-r.hex:i
where "gd-0405-r.hex" is the name of the hex file and COM4 is Your COM port.
That should program Your board with generated firmware file.
btw, I need to place avrdude.exe, avrdude.conf and firmware.hex in same directory and enter that dir by the terminal.


Yes, You can use serial->USB converter and use old serial drivers. That works on Win XP or on Linux. I can help You with XP. For linux, please search on Your own (google doesn't hurt) or ask any Linux guy for help.

One problem; when I try the command it says "avrdude: error: buffered memory access not supported. Maybe it isn't
a butterfly/AVR109 but a AVR910 device?"

Here is info it gave me when I hit enter:

Also if i have to use linux like pesho mentioned with serial to usb; i would happily do so.
