avrdude: stk_recv():programmer is not responding

ProtoXNH · March 3, 2019, 3:19pm

Everything was and has been working awesome. The update Pop up came up and for the first time(newbeee) I picked "board"(think that was the choice?????) anyway the update window (very similar to the update window for libraries), i picked the update(cant recall exactly the name, but know it was AVR related) and now i get this communication error every time i try to upload. Can i uninstall the update? HELP!!!! Thanks

Please do this:

File > Preferences > Show verbose output during: > compilation (uncheck) > upload (check) > OK
Sketch > Upload
After the upload fails you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button.
Paste the error messages in a reply here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the forum toolbar).

avrdude done. Thank you.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
