Hi! I have written some code telling a car to reverse and turn when it's about to hit a wall, but whenever I try to upload to my Arduino Nano V3.0 it comes up with the error message:

I have tried to google it and it seems there are a lot of errors like mine, and I tried those solutions, however none of them have worked. Attached is a full copy of my code.
When you press the reset button, does the LED blink? What pattern?
When you try to upload, do you see the same sort of LED blink pattern as above?
Try telling the IDE that it's an Uno. If that doesn't work, try calling it a pro mini. Those three boards all use the same chip, and it's not unheard of to run into clones that come with a bootloader that doesn't match the board.
There are, as you've probably noticed searching, dozens of things that will lead to errors of this form - it is not particularly helpful error message in terms of guiding you to a solution.
DrAzzy,
You saved the day. I was having the same problem, and had tried many variants on multiple suggestions. My Nanos think they are pro-minis. Thank you.
I'm here to bust your bubble. You can ask him to do give you all the info you want, but the problems is there was a recent update that I even did tonight that screwed the ide up for the nano. I am able to upload code to the Uno fine was also to upload to the nano yesterday fine.
It was an update to the board package. Apparently "new" Nanos come with Optiboot, and to load old Nanos, you have to select "old bootloader" from the tools menu.
Since the vast majority of "Nanos" in the world are NOT from official suppliers, and even the existing official nanos have the old bootloader, it's an ... annoying ... change.
(time to break out Optibloader, which was written about the time the Uno came out, explicitly with the idea of being able to do "bulk updates" of the bootloader on older boards.)
I keep getting that same error code on 2 different boards! I've tried everything in the forum and NOTHING has helped!!!! I'm new to arduino but since I did the blink test I've had this error!!! I've got another board that is a clone and the drivers can't be found! I had heard so much good about arduino but now I have my doubts!!! I personally am starting to think that its over rated and a pile of crap! Are there any solutions other than resale selling it and if anyone ask me about it saying its not worth the time money or effort?
After working on our board for 5-ever, your comment on making sure that the correct board was selected solved our problem! For some reason when we went from one lesson to another the Board type changed and when we reloaded the Code that worked previously the Board type stayed the same. Thank you, it helped.
