I have an Arduino Uno R3 board, I'm using version 1.6.5 software for windows, and even after installing drivers when I run the script the following message appears:
avrdude: stk500_getsync () attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp = 0xAF
Ok, since the site is completely in chinese, I am very hesitant to download.
I hadn't touched my UNO in a few months, been mainly playing with nano's. Went to upload some code the other day, got a similar error (avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x07). Shortly after, my nano's stopped uploading (win7). Went and upgraded to 1.6.5 IDE, and it fixed the nano issue.
Still getting the same error on the Uno though. It's recognized as an Uno on Com5 (it's always been on com5), the power light is on, and led on 13 is on. When uploading, every 10 seconds or so the Rx light blinks once.
All code, including the blink example, no wires attached, has the same result. I have tried other 328's on the board too, as I was planning to use the Uno to program some chips. Any suggestions?
I hope to help those who are also with this problem by using the Arduino Uno R3 with Atmel 328p
Good Luck!
What you have is not exactly Arduino UNO R3, but a compatible board with different chip on the board. The chip is CH340 or CH341. If you have the original UNO then the driver is already in the arduino software.

You have a different question. You're using win7, so go to device manager and find the port device with com5. Select properties and view the Details tab. Select under Property "Hardware Ids". Report back the value you see.
The Chinese site is ligit. You may have their chip or you may not. The answer is in your computer.
OK so you have the arduino official (or knockoff) UNO R3 using ATMEGA16U2 chip. The driver is under arduino ide's drivers folder. Go to the unknown device and choose update driver and browse, point to that driver folder and you're golden.
OK then it's not the driver issue. Do you have anything connected to the board? If yes, remove it. You could have a broken ATMEGA328 chip (the long chip) on the board. Do you have any spare ATMEGA328 chips with bootloader?
Nothings attached, hence why I was trying Blink. I have already removed the chip, replaced it with another (that supposedly has the bootloader already on it), and had similar results. I'll try again with a third chip (from the same lot as the second).
I was hoping to use the UNO as a programmer for these chips....
If you're really out of luck the program in the ATMEGA16U2 is corrupt and you have to flash it again. But then you need a programmer or another Arduino as ArduinoISP.
I do experience the same issue - I tried to power on/power off, upgrade from several computers (Win7, Win10 and MacOS) and It's consistent. BTW, my UNO is well connected as the software uploaded previsouly is still working fine.
I'm using the latest image 1.6.5. Any idea ?
Still waiting for your answer. What VID and PID? I posted my troubleshooting blog post and you said you did it. So if you did do it, what are the VID and PID numbers you got out of it?
