avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

[zneb]

Well I'm still having the same problem. I'm thinking maybe I should reburn the bootloader but don't know how. Are the bootloaders the same in all the same boards? I have 3, uno 3 boards and none of them work. I retried my nano with old bootloader  and it did upload but I can't check if it works cause I need the uno for that..I know I'm a pest but at 83 yrs old  this is what makes My days interesting.

this is what makes My days interesting.

LOL indeed... and I'm not far behind. I'd suggest backing up a bit and verify all the criteria required to upload to one of the UNO's first. IE: is the proper board selected, is the proper port selected? I know that seems redundant, but I've trapped myself many times with simple slip-ups. Try uploading a simple sketch like "blink". Forgive me if you've done all this, but with the thread getting longer, it's hard to keep track.

There are multiple instructionals out there to load bootloaders, if you google, you should be able to find one. That being said, if you use a breadboard setup for interconnecting, I can say that has been one of my major sources of problems.

 Review my last post regarding IDE ver's 1.8.9 and 1.8.7. Now I haven't seen any strangeness with the UNO but I have with Pro-mini's and Nano's. Do you have access to an older IDE to try?

@rhearajesh
Try to use Nano with "Old Bootloader". It could help if it is chinese clone.

@Kapil_Varadhan
UNO does not have same problem as Nano. Maybe you could write more detailed info.
Is it clone...?

[narendermann]

I resolved this by selecting -> Tools -> Processor -> ATmega328P (old bootloader)

[tmhuud007]

Im having this issue too. I cant upload ANYTHING to my nano (genuine) Everythings ok with UNO and Micro.  Can anyone help??

[ocrantz]

Same issue here, with three different nano versions.  I took the advice from above and downloaded and installed an older version of the Arduino IDE (1.8.7, found at firehorse.com).  Seems to have solved the upload problem, but the Serial Port/Console doesn't print out messages.

Update: got the serial port working (operator error), but 1.8.7 still is a bit flakey; I have to swap the cpu type every once in a while to avoid the avrdude error.  But at least now I can work on my project.  Might try 1.8.5, but bleh maybe not.

Hmmm. Thanks for the tip.  I think I'll have to give my codes to a friend so he can upload them to the nanos for now.  But I think I'll try an older software version monday.

[CrossRoads]

You can also get older versions right from Arduino.cc

[tmhuud007]

Thanks CROSSROADS.

[tmhuud007]

Hmmm. So I gave the code to a friend with a PC and he couldn't put it on the NANO either. He got a weird error something about the Mac OS.....

Hiya - A quick note to stop some red herrings.

I received this error with an Funduino (Keyes) Pro Mini and Funduino FTDI Basic. Both came with no documentation or pin-out markings for the programming pins.

It took me quite a few hours of searching and poking around with a multimeter before I realised the Funduino board has reversed the alignment of the pins on the interface. When put the FTDI I/F card upside-down it worked!! Why would these guys do that I have no idea .. anyway all good now - working perfectly.


Doc is here (thankyou tinkbox.ph)

Hi guys,

I had this error many times..  And ordered new FTDI adapters Even two. Yesterday.

But now I found, that if I want to upload a sketch to my bare-bone Atmel328p, I need to wait some little time after closing Serial monitor. One or Couple minutes was enough. Of course, Bluetooth adapter must be disconnected also.
And now if it's not uploading - I am just going to make cafe And it always helps now.

the selected serial port
 does not exist or your board is not connected
