Error message Did I damage my UNO

Post by mjpcarbon »

When I try to upload my sketch I get the following error message
Binary sketch size: 12,218 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
Did I ruin the whole board, the chip or something else do you think.

If so does ADA check board for damage, is it worth the $$ and if so what is the procedure to have a board checked ?

What serial port have you selected for communication with the Arduino?

If it's only happening for one Arduino, that's probably a sign of something wrong in that device.

It could be something as simple as a corrupted bootloader though. If you have multiple Unos, you can use one to write a new bootloader onto the one that's misbehaving: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP

Kool ! I will give that a try tonight.
One quick question I am going UNO to UNO do I have to make the following sketch mod ?

Note for Arduino 1.0: you need to make one small change to the ArduinoISP code. Find the line in the heartbeat() function that says "delay(40);" and change it to "delay(20);".

Probably. In all honesty, I have enough flavors of programmer that I haven't done an ArduinoISP project since before the Uno came out.

I'm pretty sure that line is just a timing parameter though, so the worst case of getting the wrong value should just be a "got no response" message.

Hmm.. that may be a dead ATmega16u2 (the USB interface). That's significantly harder to fix.

Try swapping ATmega328s between the Arduino that isn't working and one that does. That should give us a better idea of where the problem lives.

I swapped the chip and the board is fine so I will replace the chip with my next order

Well, of parts to replace, that's the easiest and least expensive. Good luck with the new one.
