You can't upload this sketch, or any sketch?

There to things that cause that error one the reset didn't happen and two you didn't set the com port.

If it's a uno I would make sure I had the com port set right.

Hi,
First: make sure you can upload GOBP (The Good Old Blink Program) On top menu go:

File>examples>basics>blink(click)

Upload. If same error, CHECK

  • Tools>Board (Right board?/)
  • Tools> Serial Port (Right port??) IF Serial Port grayed out, your board / USB / ?? is not working.

Let us know what's happening...

Thanks for the suggestions. Karma3 nailed it. I didn't have the com port set correctly.
