Hi I get:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
when uploading to my duemilanove on linux. This has started happening recently. I have been through the troubleshooting guide and nothing helps. It is not faulty hardware as I tried on a windows machine and it worked fine. I have also tried re-installing the IDE. Does anyone have any suggestions?
