Hello, I am very new to programming and I bought a tank kit and I haven’t been going well. Whenever I upload anything it will spit of the same message(. I am doing the simplest codes ever as I am just trying to control a servo motor that’s connected to a powered module controller. I cannot upload my programs ever since I reived my Arduino. I’ve tried resetting my Arduino. I have an expansion board on top of my Arduino UNO. (You can look at my setup in the setup attachment) I am on Windows 10 64 bit.
What I have done:
- I have checked that my connections are correct. Evidence 1
- I have checked my physical connections(everything is connected.
- I’ve checked my drivers by checking my computer was connected to the Arduino.
What I believe the problem is:
I’m not sure if it is the bootloader or not. I don’t have a bootloader I thought I could just flash it onto y Arduino and it would be fine. The error message is :

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.
Or you can look at the ERROR.png
I have looked everywhere for an answer but the answers confuse me or it has little to do with my setup.
I would highly like an answer to these questions.
- How to check if I need or have a bootloader?
- Why can I not upload my programs?
Setup;
OS: Windows 10
Arduino 1.8.12
Code: (Code.png)
Error:avrdude: ser_open(): can’t set com-state for “\.\COM3”
Config with expansion and module
ps. The Sport is connected to d11 hence setting the servo pin to 11.
