Nano V3 boards with FT232RL chip (AZ Delivery) with programming problems

Development Tools Uploading
1

Hi,
I searched and read quite a lot of discussions, unfortunately non of the advices or tricks worked so far. It is the often discussed error "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding". But usually it is about a clone with the CH340 Chip , but on these boards from AZ Delivery it is FT232RL-compatible one. First time sketch upload of the blink example worked, then no more. I tried all tricks like pressing reset after the upload line appears in the IDE. Changed, cables, the computer (first Linux, now Mac OS), was looking for drivers to install but FTDI chips are supported out of the box. As all three fail I can´t use one to re-flash the bootloader. I will see if I can use one of my ESP8266 or ESP32 boards for it, but maybe someone has another idea what to try first, or, can confirm that it is likely the bootloader and worth the efforts to try the ESP boards.
Thanks a lot!
Toni

Thank you, yes, I did, had the feeling helped the one time (sorry, did not write down exactly the sequence) but since then no luck anymore.
Forgot to say: I am using IDE 2, latest version.

Hi @tozo17. I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from an upload attempt.

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

Please do this:

  1. Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
    The "Preferences" dialog will open.
  2. Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compile in the "Preferences" dialog.
  3. Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
  4. Click the "OK" button.
    The "Preferences" dialog will close.
  5. Attempt an upload, as you did before.
  6. Wait for the upload to fail.
  7. You will see an "Upload error: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window. Click the "COPY ERROR MESSAGES" button on that notification.
  8. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
  9. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.

  10. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
    This will paste the error output from the upload into the code block.
  11. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  12. Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

Try selecting Board -> Arduino / Genuino UNO.
