However, I tried to upload the Arduino sketch #2 to my kit and it produces the following error message:
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00

avrdude done. Thank you.
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
Can anybody please help me with step 1 of this guide’s page 23?
Can you confirm you have the right COM port and board type selected? The DFRobotShop Rover is based on the Arduino Uno.
Second, ensure that you have copied all of the code and there are no parts missing at the start or end.
Last, ensure the drivers are installed correctly and have been detected by the computer.
There’s a troubleshooting guide towards the end of that same manual.
Yes, I can confirm that I have the right port and board.
I have ensured that all codes are complete (I tried both sketch 1 and 2; both failed to be uploaded).
I can be certain that my rover is detected by the computer and works via Bluetooth (but not via USB cable)
What does the following error message mean? (Note: this error message came before the list of 10 attempts I posted previously)
User configuration file is “/Users//.avrduderc”
User configuration file does not exist or is not a regular file, skipping
When uploading code (via USB), you need to remove the bluetooth module (it uses the same communication pins needed to communicate with the computer). For future reference should you use shields, be sure when uploading code that nothing “blocks” digital pins 0 and 1 (which can affect uploading new code). Tell us if this solves the issue.
