Hi,

I have recently bought an Arduino Nano v3 from a friend.

Now I am trying to upload the blink example program into it. But I keep getting this error:

avrdude: Version 5.4-arduino, compiled on Oct 11 2007 at 19:12:32

avrdude done. Thank you.

I am have tried it on a desktop and my laptop:

Spec:

Desktop:
windows 7
arduino nano v3

laptop:
windows vista
arduino nano v3

Things I have tried:

firewall off
different usb port(s)
installing ftdi drivers (about 3 times)
pressing the reset button before uploading
looking for solutions on forums

It would be nice if someone could help me on the topic.

Regards,
Stieve

selecting an other com port gives me the following error

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

Did you selected the right board ?
Open arduino IDE, go to tools>board>and select your board.
Hope it helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the responds. Yes I have selected the right board.

I contacted my friend and the told me that he just gave me an usb-cable that had the correct connectors on it.
So now we are going to check if the arduino works on his desktop while using the same usb-cable as I am using now.

I will post if this was the problem. Because frankly I think if that is not the problem, the arduino itself must be defect.

Stieve
