[closed] Arduino Nano upload sketch to Atmega168PA

Hi all,

I recently bought this Arduino Nano:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32866959979.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dBqD61J

I usually upload a sketch to an Atmega328 chip via the Arduino IDE without any problems.

However, using the Atmega168PA chip I am unable to upload a sketch? Does anyone know how I can solve my problem?

I tried selecting Atmega168 chip in the Arduino IDE, but I get the following error:

"
avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e940b (probably m168p)
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega168 is 1E 94 06
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
avrdude done. Thank you.
"

Also, the COM port in the Arduino IDE is not recognized.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Thomas

You need to do at least two things.

First it needs a specific driver (mentioned in the second link)

Second it is not a REGULAR NANO to you will need to select the flavour (168) in the drop down menu.

Thank you. Somehow, everything seems to work just fine now

Good to hear that.

Am sure there was a change on your part in there somehow.
