Programmer is responding, New Guy Question

Development Tools Uploading
1

I've gone through a handful of troubleshooting techniques and can't seem to either get it right or resolve my issue. I am brand new to Arduino and brand new to mechatronics. I purchased this Arduno: Amazon.com, and have it connected and the red light is on. Everything appears to have power to my knowledge and I followed this tutorial:https://maker.pro/arduino/projects/how-to-animate-billy-bass-with-bluetooth-audio-source.

Running IDE 2.0.0-rc3 and a sketch that verifies and was provided, I am getting these errors:
Global variables use 223 bytes (10%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1825 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

I would love for my first Arduino project to work and just need a little help here.

Welcome to the forum

Which board and port have you got selected in the IDE ?

3

Try setting the Processor type (in the Tools Menu) to the "Old bootloader" setting (after you have set the board type to Nano.)

4

And if you're on Windows, you will have to install the CH340 driver; download from CH341SER.ZIP - NanjingQinhengMicroelectronics

I have an Arduino Nano that I'm trying to run with my IDE 2.0.0-rc3. It is at COM3, the only port that shows up when I plug it in.

6

Still not having any luck, getting the same error. Do I need to click on a programmer with it? Tools>Programmer>__________. I had someone tell me I should be on AVRISP mkII but that doesn't work either. I've tried a bunch of the other ones and combinations but I still can't get anything.

7

I've downloaded and installed the driver after the set up. Restarted the computer and still not having any luck. Do I need to change/do anything in IDE?

  1. Does that port disappear when you disconnect the board?
  2. What does Windows device manager say about your board?
  3. Do you see one or two quick flashes of the L led when you reset the board? I'm not referring to the pre-loaded blink sketch

If you upload via USB, it does not matter.

The only setting (if the correct COM port is selected) in the IDE that can affect the upload is the setting for the processor (tools -> processor), you'll have to try all three and maybe one will work.

Your topic was MOVED to its current forum category as it is more suitable than the original

So when you say upload via USB, you mean clicking on the upload button in IDE right? Still having no luck and I even purchased a new cord. I've now tried all three processors with no luck. The Arduino shows up at COM3. It changes to have a yellow warning with a ! in it when I unplug it so I think it is the right one.

I do not see any flashes of the LED when I try to reset the board.

So I know the port is correct because I changed the port number in my device manager and it changed in IDE. I saw on another page to change the flow from to and that doesn't help either. There were a couple times I was getting an error saying that it could not get access to that COM but again I corrected that and now we're back to the error where "programmer is not responding"

It should disappear, not give something with a yellow triangle.

That could mean that there is no bootloader in the 328P processor. If you have another Arduino, you can try to burn the bootloader.

I have no idea what that means.
