Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P" - Cannot upload

jpc763 · March 10, 2018, 6:47pm

Hello, this is my first post and my first arduino project. The sketch is a known working sketch that I got from a fellow enthusiast that programmed it to automatically open a convertible car top. It has been used by dozens of other owners so I know the sketch is good.

Here is my situation. I purchased a nano and downloaded the IDE. I compiled the sketch and tried to upload to the Nano board. I get the following:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

Of note, If I change the board to Mini, it uploads but the board is actually a Nano.

Thanks in advance.

Do this:

Tools > Board > Boards Manager
Wait for the download to finish
Click on "Arduino AVR Boards"
Click "Update"
Wait for the update to finish
Click "Close"

After doing that, you will be able to upload to your Nano with Tools > Board > Arduino/Genuino Nano selected.

That solved it! Thank you!

I have the same problem but it says that my Arduino AVR Boards are up to date

sterretje · April 24, 2021, 6:17pm

Have you tried the different processor options under tools → processor?

jgamer · April 25, 2021, 7:21pm

thanks, it helped!

jgamer · April 26, 2021, 10:57am

It worked with nano but when I wanted to upload to uno there was the same problem but no processor options

sterretje · April 26, 2021, 11:01am

Processor options are applicable to certain boards only; for the Nano because it exists in three version. The official Uno only exists in one version.

Please post the error message that you get with the Uno.
