chip not syncing

Post by Metroidfan »

I bought an Atmega328p dip, inserted it into my Arduino and tried to program it, but received a "cannot sync" error. So I tried the chip that came with the Uno and it worked fine. What can I do?

Is your new '328 blank? I.e. does it have a bootloader flashed?

For background see https://learn.adafruit.com/bootloader-basics.

I don't know if the chip is blank. Usually when i buy them they have bootloaders already. I did try to burn one but i got the same chip not syncing error.

Exactly what did you buy? A link to the product page or product ID, please.

Thanks. That should have a bootloader programmed into it.

Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread, your order number, and request the replacement of one Arduino bootloader-programmed chip (Atmega328P).
