avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x30

Had that link worked, it would be terrific.

Alas it doesn't work for me.

My scenario is that I bought one, then another one.

They both work.

Then I bought another and it had this problem.

I even bought a "Genuine" Uno.

It too doesn't work. SAME PROBLEM.

Tried other board types - as suggested in other posts from people with similar problems.

Weirdly enough I can still talk to my first Arduino.

So I am really at a loss to what is going on.
