Avrdude%3a Stk500_recv()%3a Programmer Is Not Responding

Posted : admin | On 17-08-2021

Hi,
great Instructable. Unfortunately It didn't work for me, however I did find a fix so I thought I'd post it here for anybody else with the same problem. My problem is that I'm using Windows 8 and apparently the arduino drivers aren't signed and therefore windows 8 will not utilize them. Fortunately YouTube user beachedwhale found an easy work around that'll get it working without turning off driver signing. You can watch his video by following this link:

In a nutshell, you update the driver through device manager and use the wizard to pick from a list of device drivers on your computer, when this list comes up you choose a Compaq Ricochet Wireless USB Modem, apparently the two devices use the same driver, you just need to change a few of the driver's settings once it's installed (make sure the baud rate is 9600, etc...).
It only takes about two minutes to do, definitely worth a try if your getting this error and running Windows 8.

I would like to share with you a problem I am having. I am using the Arduino Nano v3.0, ATMega328P. I have just written my program and the program was fine. But when it was uploading it gave this message:

Arduino: 1.8.8 (Mac OS X), Board: “Arduino Nano, ATmega328P”

avrdude done. Thank you.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

Avrdude: Stk500_recv(): Programmer Is Not Responding Error

As the error message says, I am using MacOS Mojave, version 10.14.2. My Arduino IDE version is 1.8.8 and I just downloaded it yesterday because my old one isn’t working.

Every time I upload to this board, there is a problem. The exact same one. Note that that isn’t true for my Arduino Uno.

Also, when I try to load board information, Nano says “Unknown board” while Uno says “Arduino/Genuino Uno”. All these information is attached. My verbose output is “upload”. Do I need to use compilation? Again, the screenshot is also attached.

Please help and a happy new year.
