Nano (clones) won't upload, by two methods

Terrypin · July 3, 2024, 6:36pm

Nanos, cheap clones, label just 'Nano'. I think USB socket is C type.

(Although doesn't look exactly the same as those I viewed on web.)

Green LED lit, red LED flashes at something under 1 Hz..
Uploading any sketch by the usual method gives "An error occurred while uploading the sketch". Full report:

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

Using a Uno as ISP, via the ISP terminals, uploading with 'Upload using programer' gives
"avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature."

Selecting the 'Old Bootloader' board option gave same summary message.

Reverted to the ATmega328P board option.

But strangely, using the normal 'Upload ', appeared to do so without error.

However it failed to run any sketch. Whether powered via the Uno, the Nano USB cable, or external power to 5V.

gilshultz · July 3, 2024, 7:52pm

Start with the blink sketch and change the delay times by a significant time and see if it works when uploaded. If it does then do a serial.begin and then serial.print hello.

Terrypin · July 3, 2024, 9:30pm

No sketches work, including the obvious Blink.

sterretje · July 4, 2024, 6:09am

Do you have a link to what you bought? Did it come with the cable that you showed?

What does it report for the signature?
Is the processor indeed a 328P?

What is the serial-to-usb converter on the board (chip at the bottom of the board)?

Please enable verbose output during upload and disable verbose output during compilation and perform a normal upload. Post the results here.

amirreza_ipchi-e-haq · July 4, 2024, 8:18am

Let me troubleshoot:

Are you using a USB data cable, or just a charging one? Remember, USB charging cables do not transfer data, so use a data one.
Have you installed the CH340 drivers? Since your boards are clones and you're on Windows, you have to install the CH340 drivers, because Arduino Nano clones are interfaced with a CH340G chip.
Have you selected the old bootloader? If not, select it.
Is there anything connected to RX & TX pins? If there is, disconnect it first, then upload your code.

That's all I can provide to you now...

b707 · July 4, 2024, 9:20am

I never seen Nano clones with USB C, Could you provide a photo and link to the seller?

Terrypin · July 4, 2024, 2:53pm

Pleased to report a happy ending.

Turns out that four of these five cheap AliExpress Nano clones (actually 'compatibles' if I believe the advert) work correctly. So you can guess which one I opened first and spent much of yesterday struggling with!

This morning I tested all five and regret that I didn’t do so at the start. Of course, I can't even be sure that the first one was faulty. Perhaps I damaged it in my early tests. But assuming not, I'm still keen to pursue any further steps before binning it.

Answering questions raised by @sterretje, @amirreza_ipchi-e-haq and @b707

Screenshot from purchase link:

Cable (an unrelated purchase, 3 metres long) is a data type.

Photo of Nano and cable:

Signature?
Using Arduino as ISP I do not today seem to be getting the same result as previously. I get 'Uploading...' but the progress bar immediately turns solid green and if I have the patience to leave it for several minutes I eventually get this, not the 'Yikes!' message.

Thanks for all the help, which I’ve filed for future Nano trouble shooting.

Try Aliexpress they have many vendors selling with the USB C connector. In many cases they are less expensive. I have about 20 of them and only had problems with one, it was the cable i got from the box store.
