Arduino Nano - Connection Problem

Development Tools Uploading
1

I am working on a simple MP3 program using the Arduino Nano. However, after a few successful uploads using the Arduino IDE, I started encountering an error.

I have tested multiple Arduino Nano boards, different USB ports, and various cables. I also tried using VS Code instead of the Arduino IDE, but I keep encountering the same error in every case.

I believe the issue isn't with the hardware, cable, or the IDE, but rather with a driver, a Windows update, or something related to my laptop. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Can anyone help me?

Sketch uses 4704 bytes (15%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 432 bytes (21%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1616 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Did you try to select an "Old Bootloader" option in the Board menu?

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @gilgracadias.

In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Some points

  1. Try all three options under tools/processor in the IDE (see first reply as well).
  2. Correct port selected? Does it disappear when you disconnect the board?
  3. Anything connected to pins 0 and 1; this will interfere with uploads.
  4. Anything else connected? Disconnect and see if that solves the problem.
  5. In case of IDE 2.x, close serial monitor before uploading.

Thanks. This is my first time here. Next time, I’ll be more attentive.
