I've done a lot of research on it and absolutely none of the fixes I've seen have worked for me. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers, I know that I am in the correct serial port, I know I have selected the correct board, I have tried the pushing the restart button and no pins are plugged into the '0' or 'RX' port.
This is driving me crazy because just earlier today I was able to upload code to my Arduino but something got screwed up.
There are no pins connected to either the 'TX' or 'RX'.
I was going along the process to try burning the boot loader using:
When I read at the top of the page that this method does not work with the Arduino Uno.
I also do not have another type of Arduino to use in order to burn the boot loader.
If you have another arduino, you could use that arduino as a isp to burn the bootloader on the one that you have a problem with i reccomend that you don't take out the atmega128 chip because the pins are fagile
I am sure that there is a problem with the IDE 1.0.5 where when I use this IDE 1.0.5 I get the error message but when I use the IDE0023 everything works perfect.
This is something which Ive been trying to solve but with no success.
Yup, me! - see other thread in this forum. Sorry can't offer any help as I'm still stuck, but will try your idea of downgrading to previous versions and let you know how I go.
I get that also, I'm using the Ardunio uno to bootload a plain old ATMEGA328. It wouldn't happen at all, I've loaded the examples just like on the tutorial and built the full breadboard out. I added a power supply in case it was too low. I've tried a ton of different boards for the load. I did try AVR ISP and this is the error I got.
Still no luck, though the previous versions don't seem to have an installer, they're just a program directory with executables and support files inside.
Thanks for the link but I only have One Arduino, which is an Uno. So I am unable to use another Arduino to boot load my faulty one.
This link might be helpful for many of you still trying to solve this problem as well, it shows how to boot load using an Arduino Uno, a breadboard and a AtMega328P chip:
However, at least for me, going down this path would cause a lot more expenses as you also need to purchase capacitors, a resonator, a crystal, etc. Sure most of these parts cost very little but would it be worth it to give in and just buy a new Arduino all together?
I still want to wait and see if an easier solution comes up to fix my dilemma but it's not necessarily in my interest to buy all of these extra parts.
I'd like to see what you guys have to say about this as I'm pretty new to the community.
