Arduino Error! help please

Help & Support Robot Parts

hi,

I am working with a arduino uno I recently got and an error came up.

avrdude stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

I tried researching this and finding the answer but no idea. PLEASE help. The code I used was this:
/*
Blink
Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

This example code is in the public domain.
*/

void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards:
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // set the LED on
delay(3000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // set the LED off
delay(3000); // wait for a second
}

If you have any clue on how to fix this error or what may be the problem, please let me know!

Hi swimfre2010,

To clear that up, try using a different USB port temporarily. Also, try basic code such as
void setup(){}
void loop(){}

Be sure to wait about 1 sec after you see “done” uploading before disconnecting the USB.
If that does not work, you may need to perform a “reset” on the Arduino board, which entails holding down the rest button until you start the upload.

Hope this helps,
