Error uploading Arduino Uno CH340G

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi there, a bit of help would greatly be appreciated.

I use clone arduino with CH340G ship, however my driver seems to be installed correctly because when I connect my bord, my Windows 10 pc recognise the new device (see capture). However when I try to upload my code, I get the file not found error.

I have 3 similar chinese boards, and I believe that I have been able to upload on them before (a while ago) when I used to be in Windows 7. But it's the first time I try since I pass to Windows 10.

When I connect via USB, 2 of my board give me 2 stable LED (ON, L) and 1 red blinking LED (L).
The last one do show one stable red LED (ON) and one red blinking LED (L).

All of them are recognised by my PC and all give me the same error when I tried to upload my code.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Eric

Not sure if I can help but where does that REMOVE come from? Looks like it can't find the avrdude application.

That's a good question, but I have no clue what it mean. I'll search around and see if I find something.
Thank's.

Uninstall IDE, delete arduino15 folder, reinstall IDE.

On Mac OS X:
/Users/(username)/Library/Arduino15

On Windows:
Arduino IDE 1.6.5r5 and previous:
C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Arduino15
Arduino IDE 1.6.6 and later:
C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\Arduino15

On Linux:
/home/(username)/.arduino15 (a.k.a. ~/.arduino15)

That happens when something mysterious goes wrong with board manager; for reasons unclear to me, it can end up pointing to a bogus location for avrdude.

If not using latest released version of the IDE, reinstall with that.

Thanks DraZzy, that was it!

I deleted the folder
C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\Arduino15

but never found
C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Arduino15

I didn't have to reinstall, just recompile and upload, et voila!
