I've tried a couple of times to do the examples on my new Arduino Uno, but keep getting the error message: avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
I have the Arduino Uno selected as the board, and /dev/tty.usbserial-A601LNAR selected as the Serial Port. I am using a Mac.
This is the first time I've tried to use the Arduino, so it's fairly frustrating and somewhat daunting when I can't even get the most basic example to work properly...
It means that your Arduino Uno can not be detected, as if it isn't there.
Can you try the Arduino Uno on an other computer ? Linux or Windows ?
I tried that and it sort of worked. I may need to try it again just to be sure...I should also mention that I am using the Sparkfun Inventor's kit. The board that comes with it is equivalent to an Arduino Uno. I also tried using a normal Uno on my computer and got it to work.
I am making a robot which includes using freeduino ATMEGA328. I am getting the following error while uploading the code. Serial port number, board everything is correctly selected. Still no solution for this error.
error is:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
Anshita, that error means that it is not possible to communicate with the board, as if the board is not connected.
Did you check the Device Manager for the drivers for the serial-usb port ?
