This is my first time using an Arduino and i don’t know how to get the serial number, I’ve been looking online and i haven’t found how to get it yet. Any suggestion?

Hi Joao.
Have you sent a mail to Farnell asking about this?
You should ask them or post this question in the forum.

Hi Massimo,

Hi just bought one Arduino Uno at Farnell.

Started to play with it and noticed that some times the board has some strange behavior after i upload some sketch to it. I appears that the board continues to run the previous sketch.

I have to repeat the upload process again (some times twice), and then it behaves as aspect-ed.

Noticed your January post on this Blog and because I bought my board only in July from Fanell, I suspect it is related.

Can you help me check if the right bootloader is installed. And if not, what procedures should I execute in order to update my Uno Board.

Best Regards,

João Vaz Martins

I purchased 3- SMD Uno in April 2011. They sometimes fail to start the sketch. The serial numbers are 365589, 366258 and 3rd is not known but purchased at same time.
Are these a part of the same problem? They will start if “Reset” is pressed.
I have 1- UNO with the standard chip (purchased Jan 1,2011).
Can I burn the updated Bootloader with this UNO?
Is there a recent tutorial or instructions available?
Thanks for your help
Richard

Hi.
You’d better write a more detailed description of your problem on the forum or to store@arduino.cc (if you bought the Arduino from the Store).
best,
Davide

I’m having this same problem with my UNO (sketch not running on power-on without a manual reset button press), but it is a through-hole model. Will re-loading the bootloader help the issue? Or am I experiencing another issue?

I am running an LCD with the UNO, and after reading online that may be the source of the problem, I disconnected the LCD. The problem remains without the LCD, although at a lesser frequency (1 in 4 power-ups require a manual reset button press).

@pierre legrand – Why on -earth- would you refuse to both complain about the software bug -and- also refuse to accept the warranty exchange?

Welcome to the world of micros… when you have something else to compare against, you will look back on this problem as a small blip in the big picture..

I´ve tried the arduino as ISP sketch on my working regular UNO, but my SMD version arduino still doesn´t work. Does this ketch work with regular UNOs?

Is there any other way to fix it

I´m a complete arduino n00b and using Mac.

Where di I find the directory described here?

“* Replace the file in “/hardware/arduino/bootloaders/optiboot/optiboot_atmega328.hex” with the downloaded file. (The prefix depends on your operating system. e.g. on a Mac the prefix is “Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/”) (Make an optional backup first.)”

Thanks
