I got not in sync errors which were fixed by removing wires at pins D0 D1 (Tx Rx) because those particular pins seem to be linked to the usb-serial used to upload.

Check for you :
Do you get a small green light when you power it from usb ?

On certain boards they are (not: seem to be :wink: check the schematics). On boards with native USB support (e.g. 32U4 based), those pins don't interfere with the USB.
