Problem uploading to board

Post by gesiwuj »

Hi, I've just bought the Arduino Starter Kit, and am really excited at being able to program the Arduino. However, I'm trying to upload the Blink sketch and I keep getting the error "Problem Uploading to Board"

Code: Select all

Binary sketch size: 1350 bytes (of a 14336 byte maximum)

\avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0xc0
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect 0x14, resp 0x20
I've been through the troubleshooting, and can't see the problem there:
  • The board is on, as the green light is on
    The proper port is selected in the IDE; /dev/tty.usbserial-A6008cn8
    Nothing is connected except the USB cable and the LED in 13 and Ground (and even if I d/c that, it doesn't work)
    The USB is plugged into the computer, and not a hub
    I've also temporarily turned Bluetooth off
My computer is an Intel iMac running OS X Leopard 10.5.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Sam Whitehall

Yeah, I realised that shortly after I posted (but it was in moderation so I couldn't post).

Thanks for the reply anyway, and a great kit. The Arduino is really fun to play with.
