I cant program my arduino uno and this is the message i get all the time. Can someone please tell me whats the problem?

Thank you

I have a suspicion that that is the problem. Did you install GitHub - MCUdude/MiniCore: Arduino hardware package for ATmega8, ATmega48, ATmega88, ATmega168, ATmega328 and ATmega328PB?

Yes, you are right. That was the problem. I have changed that but now i have a diferent problem. When i try to burn the bootloader, i get the following message:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1

Every time i run this i get the message that my chip has different device signiture?
Do You know what the problem could be with that ?

Thank you for your help,
Best regards

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean that the below number changes every time? Or that it's always 0x1e9116?

I've tried to find that signature 0x1e9116 but couldn't :cry:

It might be a broken 328PB (it's one bit difference) or USBAsp can't be used to program the 328PB (maybe needs a firmware upgrade, I'm not familiar with USBAsp).

5

The device signiture of my ATMEGA328PB changes every time i try to read it. It should be 0x1e 0x95 0x16, but it isn't.

6

I really don't know why that would happen. Maybe some pointers:

  1. Solid power supply?
  2. Decoupling capacitors in place?
  3. Nothing else connected to the ICSP pins?

Further I think that you'll have to wait till somebody more knowledgeable comes along. In the mean time you can provide a schematic of the circuit used to program the 328PB.

I have solved the problem. I have a voltage regulator that makes 3.3V from 5V source near ICSP pins.
Probably it applies noise on the SPI lines, therefor the Microcontroller cant read SPI lines correctly.
Thank you for your help anyways.
Best regards
