Hello
I am having an issue where when I try to upload my program, the IDE stalls at "upload" stage and eventually times out.
Board: Arduino/Genuino Uno
Operating system: Windows 10
IDE: Arduino 1.8.7
I had it hooked up to a 2X16 LCD display, DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, and a 12V muffin fan. Basically I was reading the temperature and humidity, displaying on the LCD, and turning the fan on/off to control temperature. Fan was powered by VIN and controlled with a MOSFET with 220 Ohm resistor between board pin and gate pin. The board was being powered by an external 12V power supply and I was programming the board from my PC with a USB cable. The program was running fine, however I plugged the USB cable in with the 12V power supply still in place and tried to update the program slightly and started seeing this issue. Board would still run loaded program but would time out when I tried to upload a new program. Did some googling and tried all the following troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting already done:
-Restart computer and reset board
-Unplug USB from both ends and re-plug multiple times
-Tried new USB cable
-Reset board at various stages of upload/compile
-Checked board selection and port selection are fine
-Drivers are up to date
-Removed all devices from Uno and tried to upload "blink" sketch, still no luck
-Uninstalled device from device manager and re-installed
-Uninstalled Arduino IDE and re-installed
-Changed COM port to multiple different numbers from device manager
-Connected to different PC and still saw same issue
Really hoping that trying to upload while 12V supply was connected didn't fry something on the board. No smoke or noticeable heat on board. Wanted to check in here before buying a new board...
