When working on a project, I went to upload updated code to my clone arduino nano, and it was stuck on uploading and said programmer not responding. I then tried another nano, same thing. I was able to still upload to my uno, so it must be a problem with the nano. I have used these nanos countless times, and now all of a sudden I can’t upload code. I tried updating the drivers, reinstalling IDE, and nothing worked. The loop back test didn’t work on either nano. I am sure I selected the right port, board, and processor. I have looked all over the forums and still haven’t found a solution.
Please do this:
- (In the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences
- Uncheck the checkbox next to "Show verbose output during: compilation"
- Check the checkbox next to "Show verbose output during: upload
- Click "OK"
- Sketch > Upload
- After the upload fails, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages" (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper at the top right corner of the black console window in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button.
- In a forum reply here, click on the reply field.
- Click the </> button on the forum toolbar. This will add the forum's code tags markup to your reply.
- Press "Ctrl + V". This will paste the upload output between the code tags.
- Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
This report would have more information with

Select Tools > Processor > ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) and then try uploading again.
Still doesn't work, here is the error code.
