Im having trouble compiling the code, it continues to say; avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
Can you compile something simple and download it to your UNO (like BLINK? If not, try a different USB cable. Double-check your ArduinoGUI options. (Tools/Serial Port) Have you checked to see if the UNO is being enumerated to a Com port?
Googling the error you referenced provides these explanations/solutions.
