My Arduino Uno is fresh out of the box. I've installed (I think) the WinVista drivers successfully.
I'm just working on loading and running blink(). The COM port seems to be recognized, but as soon as the board has power, I get some random blinkiness on L1, then it cycles on/off about one cycle/sec. Same behavior if I press the reboot button. I get the same error on upload:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x30
Any tips or troubleshooting I can try? I know code, I'm just a total n00b to Uno.
