[Solved] IDE not uploading code to Arduino uno

Development Tools Uploading
1

I was hoping to figure this out on my own but I have tried everything.
Recently I got a Feather Huzzah Microcontroller. I downloaded the libraries required to use it for my project. (Adafruit Unified Sensor and ESP32) It didn't work. So I thought no problem I'll just go back to my Arduino uno because it worked before with that. Now my Arduino uno gets the error:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xda

This happens ten times until:
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

Keep in mine my Arduino uno worked perfectly before this. So here is what I have tried:

  1. Reset button on Arduino
  2. Uninstalled Libraries
  3. Changed my port in device manager to com 24 instead of com 3
  4. Updated drivers
  5. Reset button again
  6. Attempted to delete Arduino IDE and reinstall. (Not sure if I did this correctly)

Unfortunately to no avail. Your help would be so appreciated!
Also I have tried different code and it works for none so I didn't think uploading my code would be very helpful.

Welcome to the forum

Obvious questions

  • Does the PC recognise the board when it us plugged in ?
  • Which COM port is allocated to the board by the PC ?
  • Have you got that port selected in the IDE ?
  • Which board have you got selected in the IDE ?

Hi, thank you for the welcome.

  1. Yes when I go to ports on device manager I can see com24 is connect Arduino uno.
  2. Com 24 was com 3 before changing it
  3. Yes, the port 24 is selected in the IDE
  4. I believe I have selected the Arduino Uno. The Arduino uno is lit up blue next to the name.
    Thanks

  1. Which operating system are you using.
  2. What is the serial-to-usb converter on the board (it's the chip closest to the USP port); e.g. 16U2 (original Uno, some clones) or CH340 (most clones) or ...
  3. Please enable verbose output during upload and disable verbose output during compilation. Perform an upload and post the complete result here using code tags as described in how-to-get-the-best-out-of-this-forum#use-code-tags.

There are two places that are easy to check; in the tools menu and in the tool bar under the menu.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I have checked the board the way you have instructed and it is in fact the Arduino uno
Thank you for your help

The output in post #5 does not indicate upload errors.

Note
I've fixed the code tags as I could see an attempt to use them. Code tags are three backticks (```) on their own line before and after the code block; you ended up with single backticks, not sure why.

What do you think it might be then?
I have successfully uploaded code from a school computer with no errors if that helps to know.
Thanks again

I do not know; your topic title was about uploading and that seems to work. If your sketch does not work as expected, that's another story.

The only thing that is missing in your output is verification of the uploaded code, probably because it is not enabled.

In file/preferences, enable verify code after upload and perform an upload. Post the results here if needed.

Same code?

[Solution]
When I attempted to uninstall the Arduino IDE I didn't do it correctly. I needed to go to the windows button and uninstall from there THEN delete Arduino15 and Arduino-ide from file explorer. Then instead of using the same installer exe file I went to the Arduino website and installed the latest version from there. All fixed! Thanks for the help!
