Continuing the discussion from Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1:
Hi, I have the same problem but when I press the reset button I dont get a flashing light I just get a single flash and nothing more unless I press it again. Can you guide me what to try next or have I had a "magic smoke incident as you call it?
Mine is a Nano
Hi @jeffrsharpe. The situation is somewhat different with the Nano compared to the Uno so there is still hope for your board.
I'm going to ask you to post the full verbose output from an upload attempt.
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1
Thanks for quick response.....I am using my laptop for this response but I really want the nano to be working on a desktop in my observatory. Both machines give the same output as above except the laptop has a baud rate of 115200 and the desktop 57600. My nano is due to control the brightness of a light panel and I have had the software working on this laptop a month or so ago and I was hoping to set it up in the observatory desktop but the sketch wont work. Thanks for your help
OK, that is actually what I was hoping to learn from the verbose output. The classic Arduino Nano board (as well as its clones and derivatives) have been manufactured with two different bootloaders (a program stored on the microcontroller that is used to upload sketches to the board). One of these bootloaders ("Optiboot") produces multiple blinks after a reset and uses 115200 baud. The other bootloader ("ATmegaBOOT", AKA "Old Bootloader") produces a single blink after a reset and uses 57600 baud.
When using a board with the "ATmegaBOOT" bootloader, it is necessary to select Tools > Processor > ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) from the Arduino IDE menus to configure the IDE to upload sketches to the board at 57600 baud. Attempting an upload to these boards with Tools > Processor > ATmega328P (the setting for boards with Optiboot) selected is one of the possible causes of an upload failing with this "programmer is not responding ... not in sync" error message.
If you are getting the same error even when you upload at 57600 baud, that eliminates the incorrect IDE configuration as the cause of the error. However, you should still select Tools > Processor > ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) from the Arduino IDE menus anyway because the lack of multiple blinks on reset tells us you definitely don't have Optiboot on your Nano so the current incorrect menu selection would cause the upload to continue to fail even if we were to solve the primary cause of the upload failure.
With that out of the way, we can continue with the troubleshooting: 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:
The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.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.

Have changed to Old bootloader and have the above output which looks good...Will now chase out the port.

I have a blinking nano on my laptop and on my desktop so Nano is working but my sketch for controlling the dimming of my A3 draghtsmans light panel and the mouse controlled graphics interface tool isnt working but I will work on that tomorrow....Many thanks for your very quick and thorough help. I have spent several hours trying similar options but obviously didnt get the right combination....Many thanks again...Thank you. Jeff
Nice! I guess the problem was only that you had the IDE configured for use with the Optiboot bootloader after all.
If you get stuck while troubleshooting the unexpected behavior of your sketches, feel free to ask for assistance here on the forum again. I recommend you to open a new topic in that event, since the subject is unrelated to that of this discussion about troubleshooting the "programmer is not responding ... not in sync " error while uploading.
You are welcome. I'm glad the upload is working now.
Regards,
Per
Just one final commentâŚ.I obviously have one out of three usb leads that wasnât being recognised properly therefore the com port although showing as connected to Com3 was in fact not connecting and should have been Com4. So anyone following this thread be sure the Com port investigation routine above provided by Per is followed to check connectivity and be ready to try a second usb. Some apparently donât transmit power.
They do transfer power, they don't transfer the data; these are so-called charge-only cables.
