I'm a newbee to Arduino programming and hoping someone can help me with this. These are the error messages.
avrdude: stk500_rcv() : programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10:not in sync:
Problem uploading to board.
I'm using a Arduino UNO clone on com port 3,the blink sketch is functioning. I get the mentioned error message on all sketches I have ran. Not sure what to do.
try this site: https://github.com/Makeblock-official/Makeblock-USB-Driver/ , it works for me. This is a driver for arduino, and command for bash
I had a same problem with UNO R3 (CH340G) MEGA328P for Arduino UNO R3
On Ubuntu 14.04 I checked the whether the USB chip not recognized, but it looks ok:
~$ dmesg | tail -n 6
[ 3350.417900] usb 2-2: new full-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[ 3350.546759] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1a86, idProduct=7523

[ 3350.547996] usb 2-2: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
But the upload went wrong like this:

After reading bunch of articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 it turned out my bad Chinese Arduino clones does not have bootloader installed on the Atmel microcontroller ship. To solve this problem you need a working Arduino and the clone Arduino we want to fix.
Walk trough who to burn the bootloader: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-fix-bad-Chinese-Arduino-clones/
Examples->ArduinoISP on working ArduinoTools->Board and select the chinese board that is not working. in my case it's an Arduino Uno.Tools->Programmer and select Arduino as ISP.My clone board does not had integrated LED on 13 pin :) you need to connect it for Blinking test.
I assume that you're trying to upload the code with the Rx and Tx pins connected..
Try removing the Rx and Tx and then click the upload button in the IDE..
This happens because your computer communicates with the Arduino via Serial communication. The Rx and Tx pins also do communicate via Serial communication. An Arduino does not have the capability to handle two such communications simultaneously. So, it goes out of sync.. And that's how you get this error...
You mentioned arduino uno clone, do you know what USB chip it's using and what chip you are uploading the sketches to?
The clone I have is very fussy and hangs up continuously. I have had luck once or twice with uploading the sketches. Depending on the chips on the board downloading the proper driver will help and selecting the proper chip under the board setting i.e. Atmega328 or atmega8 depending on the chip. Hope this helps as it worked for me.
I'm not familiar with Arduino Uno, but in case of a Nano switching to another Processor in the Tools menu of the Arduino IDE solved the problem for me. For my Nano the ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) is the one that works, maybe there is a similar option for Uno.
