Hey guys, first attempt to upload to my arduino board thats part of a synth build I'm putting together, but no matter what I try in the troubleshooting guide I just can't get it to work! Hope someone can help

avrdude done.  Thank you.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

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

Any help is welcomed and thank you in advance!

Have you considered to use the search on this forum or google?

See e.g. Errors uploading sketches to arduino nano - Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues - Arduino Forum and many more.

Most often it's fixed by selecting 'old bootloader' from tools->processor.

I had this same problem with my Arduino Nano. But I managed to solve this problem by installing the CH340 drive on my computer. :smiley:
