[SOLVED]Please help me! avrdude stk500_getsync() not in sync resp=0x00 error

Hello, i've followed instructions from Paperduino Leonardo in this link: Txapuzas electrónicas: Paperduino Leonardo: Clon de Arduino Leonardo en un PCB de una sola cara

Everything works fine except when i'm burning the bootloader to the Paperduino, this error occurs:

avrdude stk500_getsync() not in sync resp=0x00 error

All 3 LEDs light up except Tx, I tried reinstalling the device, I tried changing PORTS, I updated patches from the site (I use Gizduino Uno R3 as programmer it works the same as Arduino Uno R3, when I uploaded the sketch of programmer I just select the board Arduino Uno and theres no problem at all.)

What else do you think should I do? Please help me...

Hi
What version of the IDE do you have installed? Can you upload a picture of your board which shows how you have it wired to the Uno when you are trying to burn the bootloader?

Hi,
Have you seen these instructions?

Tom.... :slight_smile:

Here, I uploaded video and picture.

I used version 1.0 for burning bootloader to Paperduino but I used 022 version for sketching ArduinoISP.

Anyway in the video, the green, red and orange LED is lit up except the yellow one.

And yes i've read the tutorial

I can't tell from your picture where you have things wired. I think the tutorial for building the board was written when Leonardo was just being invented, and now it is a mature board. I recommend using Arduino 1.6.5.

On the Uno load the example ArduinoISP sketch from Arduino 1.6.5.
Connect:
Uno Paperduino Leo
12 ----- MISO
11 ----- MOSI
13 ----- SCK
10 ----- Reset
5V ----- 5V
GND --- GND

On the Uno connect a 10uF or larger capacitor between GND and Reset with the striped or neg terminal of the capacitor toward GND. This will disable the auto reset on the Uno.

On the menu select in Tools, Programmer: "Arduino as ISP"
On the menu select in Tools, Port: the port of the Uno
On the menu select in Tools, Board: Leonardo
Select Tools, Burn Bootloader

A side note: The Paperduino label has a defect. The MISO pin should be labeled with a 14 and the SS pin should be labeled with a 17.

I tried to upload the ArduinoISP sketch from ver. 1.6.5 and this error occurs

Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 8), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Build options changed, rebuilding all

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.

anyway there are some changes from ArduinoISP ver 1.6.5 from ver 022( this is the version I used before)

From (Ver.1.6.5):

#define SCK 13
#define MISO 12
#define MOSI 11
#define RESET 10

#define LED_HB 9
#define LED_ERR 8
#define LED_PMODE 7
#define PROG_FLICKER true

#define HWVER 2
#define SWMAJ 1
#define SWMIN 18

to (ver.022)

#include "pins_arduino.h" // defines SS,MOSI,MISO,SCK
#define RESET SS

#define LED_HB 9
#define LED_ERR 8
#define LED_PMODE 7

#define HWVER 2
#define SWMAJ 1
#define SWMIN 18

When I uploaded sketch from ver.022 it was a sucess but when I burn bootloader version 1.6.5 different error occured

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\.\com1": The system cannot find the file specified.

I found the solution! Theres a UART switch on the Gizduino that I need to switch modes when I'm uploading the sketch to the UNO. It said ''Done Bootloading'' but when I tried to connect the Paperduino alone, it doesnt even light. :frowning:

If you got the done burning bootloader message I believe you are done with that part and it is bootloaded.
You will have to troubleshoot your soldering, connectors, and components on the Paperduino next. It sounds like you have a bad connection to something, perhaps the USB connector. Or a bad USB cable.

Yeah! Thank you so much for the help, I just have to use external power supply to power up Paperduino and now I'm having trouble installing drivers, its name in Device Manager is Arduino Leonardo bootloader. I tried to "browse my computer for driver software" but it said windows could not find driver software for your device.

I tried these steps for installing .inf from drivers in Arduino found in this website :

But this error still occurs. :frowning: :sob: :sob: :sob:

The hardware is (mostly) done, although I would tend to worry about the power problem a little bit. And bootloader on the chip.

I don't have any strengths in helping with Windows driver issues. But I do suggest you explain here for other forum members what your current situation is completely and clearly.

They will want to know what version of Windows you have, what version of Arduino IDE you have and are trying to install the Leonardo driver for. I'm not clear if you are now on 1.6.5. Plus you can't just say something like the error still occurs, please tell what error you are talking about. Error installing drivers? Or error uploading? Do you have one of those exclamation points displayed in your device manager?

I'm using Arduino 1.0
That "Windows could not find driver software for your device" error
Maybe I should make another thread for this issue. Thanks so much for your help!
