Hello, Whenever I try and upload to my arduino I get an error that says "avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in synch: resp=0x00"
I dont know what the problem could be. Im getting the same error on my UNO R3 and my Duemilanove.. I did a serial loop back test and that failed. However when I sent a bit over I could see my Rx led light up but no my TX. Under my device manager it is listed as UNO (COM5) and I am POSITIVE i used the right port and board. Any idea. I dont think the board or chip is bad because i doubt BOTH are bad
"I did a serial loop back test and that failed."
Well, that's not a good sign right there.
Uno uses different driver (16U2 programmed as USB/Serial) than Duemilanove (dedicated FT232 USB/Serial chip).
Are the drivers showing up correctly in Device Manager, with no yellow ! next to them?
Been mainly working on the UNO since thats the one I just did a loopback on the Duemilanove and it worked. However I still can't upload to it. The Duemilanove shows up under the COM with no yellow!. However it is listed as USB serial port instead of something more specific to the arduino. Also under devices and printers it shows up as "FT232R USB UART." Could it be a driver issue with Duemilanove and a bad UNO? Talk about bad luck
Here's what it should look like - this is with both Uno R3 and Duemilanove plugged in.
For the Uno, I had to go thru the process to manually select the driver - it is Arduino-1.0.5/drivers/arduino.inf
Otherwise, Windows tries something more generic and you get the yellow !.
USB Serial with FTDI is correct for the Duemilanove. Mine is an older revision, driver date 7/12/2010, rev 2.8.2.0.
Have seen some comments here that perhaps latest FTDI driver presents an issue for some folks.
Uno driver is dated 1/1/2013, rev 1.0.0.0.
This is for WinVista. Wife says Win7 was a pain in the butt, Win8, who knows.
She googled to find a forum somewhere that directions that were kind of close, enough of a hint to finish up.
Hmm, This is what my arduino Duemilanove does, Theres no COM port next to it and looks like a generic COM device. I tried to manually install the arduino.inf file by going to device manager -> update driver ->browse my computer -> let me pick device -> have disk -> and then I choose browser and go to the arduino.inf file and then my computer ends up getting a BSOD. None of this sounds good am i installing the driver wrong? I never was prompted by windows, it just installed a generic one automatically. I'm guessing my problems with the Duemilanove are just driver related. As long as I can get one to work for now I am happy
Windows 7 Home Premium. Yeah the UNO shows a port number (but wasn't plugged in during the screenshot) but when the Duemilanove is plugged in it doesn't show a port number
