Can't upload sketches to my homemade arduino

Hi,


I made this arduino for a school project but I can't get it to work. In fact I can't upload sketches into.
That's what I have:

What I'm trying to do:
I'm trying to upload a sketch on it using Arduino IDE and Arduino's Serial2USB Light Adapter.

Error I get on Arduino IDE
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

Notes

  • Drivers are installed correctly and COM is successfully set.
  • ATMEGA 328P-PN is already programmed with Optiboot
  • When I press Reset button nothing happens.

SERIAL- PCB CONNECTIONS
5V- 5V
GND-GND
TX-RX
RX-TX
RESET/EXT- DTR

If you need further informations please ask :slight_smile:
Thank you for your help

thanks. What should I do to fix this error?

so there's a problem with reset button? :expressionless: I don't understand

sorry, I'm not an electronic and I don't understand what should I do :slight_smile:

Could you explain me ?
Thank you :slight_smile:

I'm using a jumper to connect DTR to RESET pin and ATMEGA 1st PIN (RESET).
I've also used a capacitor and a 10kOhm res.

What is wrong?
(see first image on first post :slight_smile: )

Found a fix! There was a connection problem with OSC.
Here's the solution (many thanks to Christian Aschoff of Fritzing forum):
