Hello everybody,
I've a brand new Arduino Uno R3 board that always give this error:
vrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb"
What happened....
I've open the box connected to my mac OS X 10.8
I've uploaded one sketch (rgb fade sketch) and it worked.
I've reuploaded the sketch 2 o 3 times just for change the delay time and it worked.
I'd like tu reupload the sketch with the final value for delay but now it always give me the error
vrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb"
I've checked this page http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload
but nothing change, still vrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb"
I've also tried another mac os x 10.8 and also a win7 64bit. Still the same error.
When I reset the board the L led blinks for 2-3 sec and then the light remain on.
The ON green led is lighted.
But when I try to upload firmware the tx and rx leds don't blink.
Any suggestion for my board?

avrdude done. Thank you.
Saturday I've bought a new board and everything works correctly.
So my old (1 day of life) board is dead?
How does the warranty work? I'm italian, so I could contact directly Arduino Italy?
