Interesting but I am not clairvoyant. So what is not working? What Arduino are you using? What IDE are you using? What hardware is involved? ..etc??? ---

My guess would be the sketch failed to upload due to an uploading error. Probably because the programmer was not responding. ---

ok lets get a explanation going i made a obstacle avoiding car with my freind for 7th grade science fair we used an arduino uno 2 li ion batteries a ultrasonic sensor and 4 tt motors and a motor driver but one fine day it stoped working suddenly but no smoke or physical damage seems to be there so we tried to upload something simple that is blink from 2 computers that is a macbook and dell both had error messages similar to this the motor driver im using is the adafruit motor driver sheild v1( i know its discontinued but it was cheaper) and its the arduino ide 2.2.2 ---

Have you changed anything at all? Same code, same board, same computer, same port, same cable, same IDE? I see you've changed some things by trying to upload a different program. Try doing everything exactly the same as the last time that it was successful. ---

Is this the same Arduino you smoked earlier? ---

Have you tried connecting it to your computer via USB only with absolutely no other connections? No shield, sensor, etc. ---
