[SOLVED] Problem uploading: "Timer expired"

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi All! I'm on my day one with Arduino. I'm using Arduino Rev 3 and was trying to upload a modification of Blink.

Here is the message from the IDE:

Binary sketch size: 1,072 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)
ioctl("TIOCMSET"): Timer expired
ioctl("TIOCMSET"): Timer expired
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
ioctl("TIOCMSET"): Timer expired

Hmmm. Why can't I upload my program? I tried looking around but can't find a similar problem with the "Timer expired" message.

Changed my cable. Problem solved. Whew. :slight_smile:
