Hi kprims,
Thanks for your reply.
OK... I know how to hook up an arduino, and how to attempt a sketch upload.
Not new to computers, I have 28 years as a PC tech.... I'm just new to Arduino's
Yes the LED blinks 3 times.
I have 3 boards, 2 which are UNO R3's and one Mega 2560.
I have tried to upload on each one separately.
Board #1 UNO R3 (china)
Terminal listing as per your example:

compiled the sketch : (no problems)
Sketch uses 3674 bytes (11%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 93 bytes (4%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1955 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
Uploading, using the parameters :
Board: Duemilanove ( as suggested by another list member, as it worked for him with the clone)
Processor; atmega 328P
Port: /dev/ttyUSB0 ( As you suggested)
I double checked the chip on the board, and it is an <Atmel Mega 328P AU 1545>
Here is where the problem begins

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
the only ports available to me are /dev/ttyuS0, or /dev/ttyUSB0.
whichever I choose gives the same result.
Looking at Tools/Get Board Info, it returns
BN: unknown board
VID: 1A36
PID: 7523
SN: Upload any sketch to obtain it
If I use the <Mega 2560> board I change the tools/ board to < Arduino Genuino Mega orMega 2560> choice.
and I get the same result....
"Programmer is not responding."
Is there any other info I can supply, that might help?
Thanks again,
Charlie
