Avrdud:stk500_getsync() or _recv() error

Newbie here - trying to connect my code to the arduino. Simple RGB LED color mixing project. Code has been verified. Continue to get the avrdud: error... programmer is not responding. I have checked the port, it only gives me one option. I have restarted the computer, double checked the wireing. There is not much to change so I am not sure what else I can try. The L and the RX are flashing - which I figure is ok based on research trying to troubleshoot. Any other suggestions?
So frustrating because I just don't know what is wrong!

Does that option disappear when you disconnect the board. If not, it's not your board.

Your post is lacking a lot of detail.

  1. Which board?
  2. Original or clone?
  3. Is the board correctly detected by your operating system?
  4. Which operating system?
