Please always post error message listings inside code tags.

The problem seems to be that the PC and Arduino are not communicating.

Are you sure that the USB cable you are using is working correctly and is a data cable, not a charge-only cable?

Try other cables and other USB ports.

You are using Linux?

Are you selecting the port in the IDE menu, which is the port that appears when you plug in the Uno?

Thanks for your reply.
The cable is working properly. I tested it with a paper printer with no problems.
I'm using mac & windows both give me same error.

The "programmer" setting is not relevant, you are uploading code directly, not via a programmer.

What about my other question?

You have not edited your first post to include the code tags.

Hi @ghalib1399. You described the Arduino board you are uploading to as "Uno". Something that can be confusing is there are multiple boards with "UNO" in their name. We need to be certain of exactly which one you have. The reason is that the problem might be caused by the IDE not being correctly configured for your specific board.

Please tell us which of the following boards you are attempting to upload to:

If you aren't sure which one you have, you can provide a picture of the board or a link to the place you bought it from and we'll see if we can identify it.

Hi Ptillisch
it's UNO R3

8

Please try this experiment and then report the results:

:red_exclamation_mark: This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

  1. Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
  2. Press and release the button on the Arduino board that is marked "RESET".

Now please reply here on this forum topic with the answer to the following question:

  • Did you see the "L" LED blink multiple times quickly immediately after you released the "RESET" button?
9

No, it lights up regularly.

10

This result tells us that one of the following two things is happening:

  • The microcontroller on the board is not running.
  • The bootloader (a program stored in a special area of memory in the microcontroller that handles sketch uploads) was somehow erased or corrupted.

You might have erased or replaced the standard bootloader when you attempted to do that.

I'm guessing you were following some instructions to perform that "Burn the 3D printer Bootloader" operation. Please provide a link to the instructions you followed.

Please also provide a detailed explanation of what you did while you were attempting the "Burn the 3D printer Bootloader" operation, and a detailed description of the "issues" you encountered while you were attempting to do that thing.

I got the steps from ChatGPT, and they are as follows:
Steps after connection

  1. Open the Arduino IDE.
  2. From File > Examples > 11.ArduinoISP > ArduinoISP → Upload the code to the UNO.
  3. From Tools > Board, choose: Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560 (as it is the target board).
  4. From Tools > Programmer, choose: Arduino as ISP.
  5. From Tools > Burn Bootloader → Wait for the message to appear:
then I got this
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync
programmer is not responding
Upload error: exit status 1
12

When you followed the instructions I provided in post #8, did you press the RESET button on the UNO R3, or on the Mega 2560?

13

...

14

on UNO R3 I didn't have Mega 2560

15

I did on post #5

16

Yes, but not on post #1 as requested.

17

Done

It is possible for a short or external circuitry connected to the Arduino board to prevent the primary microcontroller from running.

Make sure the board is not sitting on anything conductive that could short the contacts on the bottom of the board. Make sure there isn't any conductive debris (e.g., loose beads of solder, strands of wire, or component leads) on the board or on the surface the board is sitting on.

If you have a shield or any external circuitry or components connected to your Arduino board, try this experiment:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
  2. Disconnect any shields, modules, external circuitry, etc. from your board. This includes disconnecting any wiring you have between the UNO R3 and the 3D printer.
  3. Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.

Now try uploading a sketch to the board again. Does the upload succeed?

This experiment will determine whether the upload error was caused by a problem in the external circuitry. If so, you can then focus your attention on identifying the specific problem with the circuit and resolving it.

I tried , same problem same message

There is a program named a "bootloader" that is stored in a special area of the memory in the primary microcontroller of your Arduino board. This program receives the data sent by the computer when you upload a sketch to the board.

The symptoms you describe indicate that the bootloader is not running when it should be activated. This could have either of the following causes:

  • The memory in the microcontroller where the bootloader was stored has somehow been erased or corrupted.
  • There is physical damage to the microcontroller or its support circuitry.

If the cause is a missing bootloader, the board might be recoverable by a "Burn Bootloader" operation. I'll provide instructions you can follow if you want to try that:

ⓘ The "Burn Bootloader" operation is a fairly complex endeavor which requires additional hardware, and there is no guarantee that it will recover your board. If the cause of the upload failure is physical damage, then it is impossible. So it is up to you to decide whether you think it is worth trying this.

If you think it is an interesting thing to learn about and are up for taking on a challenging task, then it could be worth doing even if it does not result in the recovery of the board. But if you would rather focus your energy on progressing with your projects then it is probably better to just replace the board and move forward.

You will need an "ISP programmer" in order to perform a "Burn Bootloader" operation. An ISP programmer is a piece of hardware that allows your computer to write directly to the flash memory of the primary microcontroller on the Arduino board.

If you don't have an ISP programmer, you can use a spare Arduino board as a DIY programmer (known as an "Arduino as ISP").

I'll provide instructions you can follow to do that:

Burning Bootloader with "Arduino as ISP" Programmer

ⓘ In the instructions below, the board used as an "Arduino as ISP" is referred to as the "programmer board". The board the bootloader is being burned on is referred to as the "target board".

A. Prepare "Arduino as ISP" programmer

Although the "Arduino as ISP" only works for programming targets of the AVR architecture, you can use some boards of other architectures (e.g., "AVR", "SAMD", "megaAVR") as an "Arduino as ISP" programmer.

  1. Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino boards from your computer.

  2. Make the following connections between the pins on the "programmer board" and the "target board":

    Programmer Target
    CIPO (AKA "MISO") CIPO
    VCC 5V (VCC on 3.3 V boards)
    SCK SCK
    COPI (AKA "MOSI") COPI
    10 RESET
    GND GND

    ⓘ The documentation for the boards you are using will identify the location of these pins. If you are using an official Arduino board, check the pinout diagram on the documentation page for the board.

  3. Connect the "programmer board" to your computer with a USB cable.

  4. Select File > Examples > 11.ArduinoISP > ArduinoISP from the Arduino IDE menus.
    The "ArduinoISP" sketch will open in Arduino IDE.

  5. Select your "programmer board" from Arduino IDE's Tools > Board menu.

  6. Select the port of your "programmer board" from Arduino IDE's Tools > Port menu.

  7. Select Sketch > Upload from the Arduino IDE menus.

  8. Wait for the upload to finish.

You are now ready to burn the bootloader using your "Arduino as ISP" programmer.

B. Burn Bootloader

Instructions for burning the bootloader:

ⓘ It is not possible to do this via "Arduino Cloud Editor". You will need to use Arduino IDE or Arduino CLI.

  1. Select the "target board" from the Tools > Board menu, and any other custom Tools menus (e.g., Tools > Processor).
  2. Select the appropriate programmer from the Tools > Programmer menu in Arduino IDE.
    This is dependent on which board you are using as the "programmer board":
    • If it is an ATmega32U4-based board (e.g., Leonardo, Micro, Pro Micro): Select "Arduino as ISP (ATmega32U4)" from the menu.
    • If it is not an ATmega32U4-based board: Select "Arduino as ISP" from the menu.
  3. Select Tools > Burn Bootloader from the Arduino IDE menus.
  4. Wait for the process to finish successfully.
  5. Disconnect the USB cable of the "programmer board" from your computer.
  6. Disconnect the "programmer board" from the "target board".

Conclusion

Now connect the "target board" to your computer with a USB cable and try uploading again. Does the upload succeed now?
