am trying to send out messages from my arduino uno r3 to the internet through a WiFi shield v2.2 for arduino. Whenever i connect the board and send out a message, i get an error as below
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
Refering to the blinking example with just the arduino connected, the leds blink and there is no error.
Error occurs when i connect the wifi sheild.
This issue is not due to the com ports.
Could anyone out there have a reason to why this is happening?
"avrdude" implies that you are trying to load a new program.
You say "Write a message" - could you explain that a little more? What is the origin of the message, where is it supposed to go, and via which wire/network?
Am tries to send a message to the internet.
Amusing the Wizfi2x0 sheild library for urduino.
The code compiles without errors.
But when i upload, i get the::: avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

Any views on the cause of the error?
Note: Programming the arduino alone works perfectly.
Edit, Nevermind, I just noticed the second part of your post.
I have disconnected the usb and restarted the ide.
Am sure the right port is selected, since i can compile the code without error on the ide.
Still experiencing the same problem: avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
Any solution out there for me?
You don't happen to have anything connected to digital pins 0 or 1 do you?
Nothing is connected to digital pins 1 and 0
My hardware only includes the arduino uno r3 and the wifi sheild
And if you disconnect the wifi shield will it upload the sketch?
Yes, without the WiFi shield the arduino uploads
Install the wifi shield and try to upload again. This time when the ide starts uploading press the reset button on the board. I've read that some shields can cause a conflict with the reset.
i have done as above
But still experiencing the same error
Does the Arduino board actually reset when you start an upload to it?
Yes it does
The L led blinks
The problem has nothing to do with the program... uhm... second thoughts: When it has compiled, how large is the program?
Assuming it is not too large, when the upload does suceed, do you see the TX and RX LEDs light/blink for 10 to 30 seconds?
If the upload is correct with the Arduino on its own, then you can unplug the Arduino, plug on the WiFi shield and then power it up. There is no requirement for the WiFi shield for the program to be uploaded, only when executing.
The program is not large.
Yes the RX/TX leds do blink
Still the error is not solved.
i reinstalled the drivers for arduino to the latest one, problem not solved.
Any one with a solution?
Essy:
Any one with a solution?
My solution would be to remove the shield when you need to upload a new sketch.
