Avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt X of 10: not in sync

I just stared to code and trying to upload the code but this show up and happen!

Please tell me how to fix it, im stuck at this for half of days and dont know how to fix this, i try everything i know, i have selected the right board and port .Board that i use is UNO and its plugged on COM 4,my uno uses the CH340 and USB to converter i have update the driver too.

Please post a clear photo of the serial-to-usb converter; it's the IC closest to the USB port. See images in Avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding - #8 by ptillisch.

The text on the IC should be clearly readable as in that first image. If there is no text, you can roll back the driver; instructions: Port monitor error: command 'open' failed: Invalid serial port. Could not connect to COM serial port - #49 by ptillisch.

PS
There is a dedicated sectiopn for upload problems and your topic has been moved there.


Here is the picture of it.

That's not a CH340. It's possibly a CP2102; how does Windows identify it in Windows device manager?

In device manager its show CH340

im sure its CH340 cause i use the Arduino UNO and when first time i try to upload the code its show an error like this


And after i update the driver its not show up anymore and its show another error like i said at the first

Hi @duckyontheway. Please try this experiment and then report back with the results:


:red_exclamation_mark: This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.


  1. Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
  2. Press and release the button on the Arduino board that is marked "RESET".

Now please reply here on the forum topic with the answer to the following question:

  • Did you see the "L" LED blink multiple times quickly immediately after you released the "RESET" button?
