I have an Arduino (technically a Sunflower Mega 2056) which is a solid duplicate of the Arduino version. It has a good amount of good reviews and has worked flawlessly with Arduino components for a lot of people.
I have downloaded the newest IDE (1.6.5) and ran a few simple tests on it (blink, duel-LED Blink - an adjustment I made to blink) and they complied, uploaded, and ran well.
The other day I wrote another simple program and now I running into the continual following error.
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer
I have been searching a lot through these forums and on Google and it seems like a very common problem with the Mega 2056. However I have not been able to find a solution. I have tried using both a Mac loaded with Maverics and Windows 10. Both have had the same issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
