Croduino Basic 2 avrdude stk500_getsync() not in sync error

Customer:

I received a Croduino Basic 2 but have been unable to connect it to a computer for two days. I followed the instructions provided on the website and with the Croduino. I downloaded the drivers, installed Arduino IDE, and configured the settings in the application as follows:

Board: Arduino Nano
Processor: ATmega328
Port: COM3 (which I verified in Device Manager is connected to the Croduino)

However, I kept getting this error:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x68
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

I tried the same on another computer with a different Windows version, and when it didn’t work there either, I tried installing an older Arduino IDE, but I still couldn’t upload the program to the board.

I then tried installing Arduino IDE on Linux, but the program still produced the same error.

I tried changing the USB cable but that didn’t help either.

Prekjucer sam dobio Croduino basic 2, ali vec 2 dana ga ne mogu povezati s racunalom. Pratio sam upute koje ste dali na stranici i uz Croduino. Skinuo sam drivere, instalirao Arduino IDE i namijestio postavke u aplikaciji ovako:

Board: Arduino Nano

Processor: ATmega328

i Port: COM3 (koji sam u device menager-u vidio da je spojen s Croduinom)

Ali i dalje mi je izbacivalo ovaj error:

"avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

Onda sam to isto probao na drugom racunalu sa drugim windowsima, te nakon sto ni tamo nije radilo probao sam instalirati stariji Arduino IDE, ali i dalje nisam uspio upload-ati program na plocicu.

Nakon toga sam probao instalirati Arduino IDE na Linuxu, ali program je i dalje izbacivao istu gresku.

Probao sam promijeniti USB kabel ali ni to nije radilo.

Vise ne znam sta bih pokusao, mislio sam da ce ovo biti puno jednostavnije za napraviti. Ako ste se susreli sa slicnim problemom molio bih vas da mi pomognete.

Soldered Support:

You’ve followed a good troubleshooting process. Can you check in Device Manager that everything is correct? The device should appear in COM ports under the name Silabs, and Advanced properties should be at default values.

Original message (Croatian)

dobro si napravio postupan otkrivanja greške. Možeš li još samo provjeriti da je sve uredu u Device manageru.
Uređaj bi se trebao pojaviti u COM ports pod imenom Silabs, a Advanced properties su default vrijednosti.

Customer:

I found the problem. I tried changing the Programmer setting in Arduino IDE and with the “Arduino as ISP” option the upload succeeded and it now works.

Original message (Croatian)

Otkrio sam gdje je bio problem, probao sam mijenjati postavku Programmer u Arduino IDE i za opciju “Arduino as ISP“ je uspijeo upload i sada radi.

Mozda bi na stranicu e-radionica mogli staviti neki troubleshooting tutorijal ili tako nesto.

Hvala,

Customer:

I’m uploading via the “upload” button (not via “upload using Programmer”).

Original message (Croatian)

Upload-am preko gumba “upload” (ne preko “upload using Programmer”).

Soldered Support:

Try one more thing: hold the reset button on the Croduino after you press Upload, then release the button when “Uploading…” appears in Arduino IDE. See if that eliminates the error.

Original message (Croatian)

Josipe,
probaj još jednu stvar. Drži tipku reset s Croduino nakon što stišneš Upload, pa pusti tipku kada se na Arduino IDE pojavi Uploading…
Vidi hoće li to eliminirati error. Svakako javi.
