I have selected the correct board and port, but am getting the same error each time I try to upload a simple blink program to the board:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
I have searched all over for a solution to this problem but nothing seems to be working. The 'ON' LED is displaying green and the built-in LED on PIN 13 blinks orange when I turn on and reset the board, which leads me to believe that my board and USB cable are both working properly.
I have had the board for a couple of years and am just playing around with it for the first time in a while. If anyone knows of why this may be happenning, it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: So, I've tried my arduino on two other lab computers from my school and I get the same error. I can only assume that my Arduino is broken (or possibly my USB cable?) and there is no hope left for me. Thanks for anyone's help.
