Hi
I just got an Arduino UNO AND i am running it on XP i keep getting this error code
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
What does this mean what do i do
PS i already made sure that i picked UNO in the settings
There seems to be several reasons why you may be getting this error (the most common one of which you've already covered in setting the correct board type).
Rather than re-hacking some of the previous posts have you seen this one?

It seems to cover a wide range of issues relating to this problem.
