I'm having problem uploading code from the arduino IDE (which I installed using the Software Center) to my Genuino Uno board. I tried https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#toc1 with no success so far.
Here's my info:
OS Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
board: Genuino Uno (outside USA)
I tried to upload the example file blink. I'm always getting the error message 'avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding'. I tried several programmers from the menu, yielding the same result. The USB cable is the only thing connected to the board.
I selected the Arduino Uno as board (there is no entry 'Genuino Uno' in the menu) and /dev/ttyAMC0 as serial port.
Thank you. These questions already helped me a little. I had the old IDE from the Ubuntu Software Center (v 1.0.5) installed. I upgraded to the newest version 1.6.9 using the package from the Arduino website now.
Now I should have the right board selected (Arduino/Genuino Uno). That's the one I have.
Serial port is /dev/ttyACM0 (Arduino/Genuino Uno).
However, I'm still getting error messages like the one below (trying every 'programmer' available in the menu). Can anyone please help?
I also checked my USB cable - works fine.
