Hello all.
Yes you have seen this before and I have read a lot of post about it. I am using Windows 8 and have been using an Arduono Uno for about two months with a ATtiny85. the other night I got this error and have no clue why.
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x03
Yes I have tried the loop back test and it worked. I uninstalled the Arduino program and reinstalled it, checked the com port, replaced the cable, went thru the troubleshooting section and nothing is working. I can upload a sketch to the Arduino but when I use it as a ISP I get this error. I bought a second Uno and right away got the same errors. Also tried on a second computer that it worked on before but to no avail. This is so frustrating. I have a project that I need to finish but can not. Can anyone help me? Maybe this will help it is the whole message as the sketch is uploading.
Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 8.1), Board: "ATtiny, ATtiny85, 8 MHz (internal)"
