Colorduino HELP

Ok
Ive treid the above but no joy.

I just still get:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

which blows.

checklist:

  1. Arduino is wired as the diagram sent in previous post
  2. Everything has power
  3. ATMEGA chip is removed
  4. Uno is selected in board type in Arduino Environment
  5. Correct USB port is selected in Arduino Environment

Something is happening because when I click upload, one line of lights flashes briefly once or twice.

eek!
