Avrdude: stk500_getsync()

hello I'm doing this biodata sonification project, but there's a problem as soon as I send the code to my arduino I get this message :
"avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xb3"
i understood that it was coming from RX, i looked on the internet and tried all the solutions available, unfortunately nothing worked. does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

MIDI_PsychoGalvanometer v021
Accepts pulse inputs from a Galvanic Conductance sensor 
consisting of a 555 timer set as an astablemultivibrator and two electrodes. 
Through sampling pulse widths and identifying fluctuations, MIDI note and control messages 
are generated.  Features include Threshold, Scaling, Control Number, and Control Voltage 
using PWM through an RC Low Pass filter.

Which operating system?
Which version of the IDE?
Which board? Original or clone? Did it work in the past?

I find a solution, my cables wasnt good ! Its working now
