Error is as stated below. any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried removing all connections from A1 and A0 that had no affect. I've restarted the computer, and tried unplugging and replugging in the machine. no luck. thanks for your time and help in advance.

Verify the the IDE hardware configuration matches your hardware (port/board)
IDE >> TOOLS >> PORT >> your port
IDE >> TOOLS >> BOARD >> your board

What is your project?

Which board are you using? If it's a Nano, try the different options under tools → processor in the IDE.

I tried removing all connections from A1 and A0 that had no affect.

Anything connected to pins 0 and 1? Anything connected at all? Disconnect everything.

Hi, @upsidedownanarchysign
Welcome to the forum.

What version IDE are you using?
What model Arduino controller are you using?

Have you been able to upload to that controller before with a different sketch?

Have you selected the correct model controller in the IDE?

Thanks.. Tom..
