Timeout Error Code

Development Tools Uploading
1

It's my first time uploading code to an Arduino and every time I do I get this message:

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"
Sketch uses 1334 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 253952 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 8183 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 8192 bytes.
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

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

Have you selected the correct serial port in the "port" field of the tools menu?

3

I did. I set it to the COM3

4

Does com3 disappear after you unplug the Arduino? You do have a Mega, right?

5

Oh, it doesn't disappear when I unplug it. And yes, I have a Mega

6

Then there is something else on COM3.

7

Nevermind, yes, it did disappear

8

Reboot everything and try again.

9

Okay. By reboot do you mean restart my laptop?
Also, it says Windows 10 in the error code but I'm working on Windows 11, could that have anything to contribute?

10

Reboot everything. Why not?

11

Its still not working

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during upload"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
13

I tried that already, but after I verify it no error pops up. I'll try it with upload

14

there are two check boxes, one for compilation and one for upload

15

I fixed it. It just keeps saying timeout now

16

This really isn’t the place to post a problem or question.
Can you ask or flag the post to have it moved to a more relevant part of the forum ?

(flag icon below post...)

Sorry about that, I just flagged it
