Problem uploading to board.  See https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/sections/360003198300 for suggestions.

Hi @jitvan. Please add a reply here on this forum thread to tell us which Arduino board you are using.

Please be as specific as possible as some Arduino boards with similar names have significant differences and the forum helpers can only provide effective assistance if we are aware of which one is being used.

If you aren't sure how to describe which board you are using, you can provide the link to the online product listing you bought the board from and we'll proceed based on the information found there.

zwieblum · February 25, 2024, 8:22am

Did this specific board ever work?

jitvan · February 25, 2024, 8:26am

arduino uno r3

ptillisch · February 25, 2024, 8:35am

Please try this experiment and then report back with the results:

This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Press and release the button on the Arduino board that is marked "RESET".

Now please reply here on the forum thread with the answer to the following question:

Did you see the "L" LED blink multiple times quickly immediately after you released the "RESET" button?

jitvan · February 25, 2024, 8:46am

yes

ptillisch · February 25, 2024, 9:45am

This error might be caused by having the wrong port selected from the Tools > Port menu in Arduino IDE.

Please perform this experiment to verify that the port you have selected is your Arduino board:

With official boards, the port will be labeled with the board name in the menu (e.g., "COM42 (Arduino Uno)"). In this case, you can be fairly confident that you have identified the port. Select that port from the menu and try uploading again.

With some cheap derivative boards the port will not be labeled. You can positively identify the port using this procedure:

Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus.
Take note of the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
Close the Tools menu.
The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus. - If a new port is listed in the menu, that is the port of your Arduino board.

Select that port from the menu and try uploading again.

If the upload still fails, or if no new port appeared after you plugged the Arduino board into your computer, add a reply here to let us know and we'll investigate the problem further.

Still it show error in uploading even after changing the port

Problem uploading to board`Use code tags to format code for the forum`

ptillisch · February 25, 2024, 9:55am

It is possible for a short or external circuitry connected to the Arduino board to interfere with the upload process, causing this type of upload error.

Make sure the board is not sitting on anything conductive that could short the contacts on the bottom of the board. Make sure there isn't any conductive debris (e.g., strands of wire or component leads) on the board or on the surface the board is sitting on.

If you have a shield or any external circuitry or components connected to your Arduino board, try this experiment:

Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
Disconnect any shields, modules, external circuitry, etc. from your board.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.

Now try uploading a sketch to the board again. Does the upload succeed?

This experiment will determine whether the upload error was caused by interference from your external circuitry. If so, you can then focus your attention on identifying the specific problem with the circuit and resolving it.

nothing, I did everything, but no nothing, i have tried over 20 times, i am now tired, i need help

ptillisch · August 20, 2024, 4:33pm

Hi @mgprohack82. Please provide a detailed description of what you mean by this in a reply on this forum thread, including:

What did you do?
What were the results you expected from doing that thing?
What were the results you observed that did not match your expectations?

Make sure to include the full and exact text of any error or warning messages you might have encountered.

mgprohack82 · August 22, 2024, 2:04pm

i tried to upload a code to control a display (.96 inch lcd) to my uno r3, it did not upload the code, even if i did it 5 times, I did the loopback test and it passed the test, i then again tried to do it and many many times more, it did not work, i then tried to find a comment related to my error, found this, did what you said and im here now, the error message:

mgprohack82 · August 22, 2024, 2:14pm

and the program:

// C++ code
//
#include <Adafruit_LiquidCrystal.h>

int seconds = 0;

Adafruit_LiquidCrystal lcd_1(0);

void setup()
{
  lcd_1.begin(16, 2);

  lcd_1.print("hello world");
}

void loop()
{
  lcd_1.setCursor(0, 1);
  lcd_1.print(seconds);
  lcd_1.setBacklight(1);
  delay(500); // Wait for 500 millisecond(s)
  lcd_1.setBacklight(0);
  delay(500); // Wait for 500 millisecond(s)
  seconds += 1;
}

i have the Adafruit downloaded too, i am a starter, i am learning by myself from Tinkercad, please help me.

Budvar10 · August 22, 2024, 2:24pm

Did the UNO work before?

This is good but now, do you have something connected to UNO? If yes, disconnect everything and try it again.
The sketch is irrelevant to this error. It was compiled just fine.

zwieblum · August 22, 2024, 3:06pm

old bootloader?

mgprohack82 · August 22, 2024, 3:50pm

it worked before but that was a year before, or something like that, yes everything is disconnected, mine compiled just fine too, but it messed up on uploading, plus the tests of before were with LEDs and small drone motors, on the PWM pins as well, it was fine

mgprohack82 · August 22, 2024, 3:51pm

i have not checked, neither do i know how to...

Budvar10 · August 22, 2024, 4:03pm

You can choose Nano board and the old bootloader option is there. Try it.
Nano and UNO are similar. Old bootloader has different upload speed. It can be it but not likely with the genuine board.
Is it clone board?

Seems like previous program is still there.

mgprohack82 · August 22, 2024, 4:26pm

no, it says made in Italy, its not a copy
