Digital Pin 0 RX
Digital Pin 1 TX
Why is the default Status of this 2 pins always HIGH ?
I did not know this, made a PCB using this 2 pins and now I have always a problem when uploading a Sketch into my Arduinio UNO ...

I don't believe that this is the case but these pins are used by the hardware serial interface of the Uno.

Now you know why, and why it is wise to breadboard projects before committing to a PCB
The digital pins 0 and 1 are used for serial communication. it's in all documentation.
As long as you aren't doing Serial communication - including uploading a sketch through USB - you can use them for other purposes.
since you want to upload, you can't connect those pins at the same time to something else... needs to disconnect while uploading
if you build a shield that plugs on top of the UNO, you'll need to cut the two pins going into 0 and 1 and do some creative work to have a way to disconnect those pins while uploading
Hi,
Thank you both. I read about having 14 digital input pins and so that is not true 
In this case I only have 12
As a newcomer I relied on the specs

You can upload sketches through the ICSP with an adapter, and use pin 0 and 1 for anything you want.

not they can be used as input pins. upload your code, unplug the serial cable and you are good to go as long as you don't use the Serial class

well, you could also rely on the documentation...
But You are almost right that it's not 14 - as the analog pins can also be used as digital input... so you have 20....

You may have to disconnect your circuit from the serial pins while you upload if they load the pins.
OK, now I am a bit smarter and will never ever again use D0 and D1 for output
May I ask how do I know to which pin refers the following ?
sync: resp=0xe2
or how can I translate that into a number ?
Thank you and regards

Yes this is what I said in #2
Regarding “sync: resp=0xe2”
=> give us some context

It doesn't refer to a pin. It's just error reporting from an upload failure.

Sorry,
This comes after the error message
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0xe2

Thank you J-M-L
I made some tests and when I do not use Serial.println it works but unfortunately I need the Serial communication for testing my hardware so I guess I need to remake the PCB and leave Pin 0 and Pin 1 unconnected ...
Will do more tests to see if there are other pins making trouble.

For testing, could you not use SoftwareSerial?

Hi aarg,
Thank you. Just checked what SoftwareSerial is and will take a look at it.
Does SoftwareSerial deactivate Pin 0 and 1 and reroute them to other Pins or do I need to deactivate Pin 0 and 1 somehow using a command ?
So far I have worked on my problem and what I can do is cut off pin o and 1 from the piggyback and brigde them with a wire to pin 8 and 9 which are still free. Does not look nice but as it is in an aluminum it is not visible 
regards Rainer
As far as I know, pins 0 and 1 have no special attributes at startup unless Serial.begin() is called.
(Hint: take a look at the last couple of lines of the init() function)
If I understand correctly you need the serial to debug and upload - Given you are just starting with arduino I’d say go back to the design, leave 0 and 1 alone and dedicated to the serial port / usb communication and use some other pins for whatever you wanted to do with 0 and 1
Otherwise for init have a look indeed here

Manged to get going SoftwareSerial but is I do not declare LOW for Pin 0 and 1 they are still high after uploading
Have you read this?
