FIX: Stk500 not connected Error 8)

Well, Ive signed up on these here forums for a quick troubleshoot for what seems to be a pretty un-answered question...

Well an Error that says:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude stk500_disabled(): protocall error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

You installed the WRONG hardware for your machine!

How do you fix this?

Well I only know how to in windows sorry mac people :frowning:

1.) Go to your arduino software folder then drivers and hit the uninstall application
2.) Go to Control Panel> Hardware
3.) Look for a USB / Serial Port device with a yellow exclemation sign
4.) Hit Update Driver and browse your arduino folder and select the driver folder..

5.) After plug your arduino in and thet the hardware install for that, and then look at your evices under serial Port

and Check if its COM1, COM2, 3, 4 etc...

6.) Open arduino go to tools and serial port there should be a new COM# port there, make sure it matches the one in your hardware/devices manager, and select it..

7.) Upload and enjoy arduino.
