Arduino nano avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding Error

uzaifrizmi · May 7, 2021, 1:54am

My Arduino Nano is not working. My first code is not uploaded. it will be Stuck in Uploading...

And I change Processor to ATmega328P (Old Bootloader). And It worked fine. But after I upload it 2 times, It got the same Error. I have not changed anything. Please help me.

Here is the Error code:

Which IDE?

Dozie · May 7, 2021, 12:30pm

@uzaifrizmi Take a look at https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360016478240-Error-avrdude-stk500-recv-programmer-is-not-responding

uzaifrizmi · May 7, 2021, 2:25pm

Now above Showed error code, that is IDE 2.0.
But I tried with IDE 1.8.3.
I got the Same Issue!

I have the same issue and I've seen so many of these forums with this exact problem, its strange that arduino hasn't released an official note on how to fix it, if there is an easy fix besides changing the bootloader to old bootloader since that doesn't work for me

uzaifrizmi · May 8, 2021, 6:36am

Yes. I have the same. I don't know what can I do about that!

@uzaifrizmi
What does Windows device manager say when you connect the Nano? Any yellow triangles? Which VID and PID are reported (if any); you can find that by right clicking on the entry in device manager and digging through the tabs.

What is connected to the Nano? Anything on pins 0 and 1?
