Hi,
I am using an Arduino Nano on Win7 64bit and when trying to upload a program I get about 10 errors that say "programer not responding".
Things that were suggested online that i already tried:
-Installing the latest FTDI Usb driver
-Pressing the reset button before and/or during the upload
-Making sure i have chosen the correct board in the IDE
-Trying different USB Cables / Ports
Can somone tell me what to do?
Can't get my Arduino Nano to work

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
When you connect the Nano via the USB cable, is it recognized by the Windows Device Manager?

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
Yes it is recognised as "USB Serial Port (Com5)"

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
Make sure that you have COM5 selected in Tools->Port.Yes it is recognised as "USB Serial Port (Com5)"
Do you see any LED activity when you press the reset button?
What LED activity do you see when you attempt to upload a program?

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
I have selected the correct port in the IDE.
When i press die Reset Button the red LED labeled with "L" blinks once.
When i try to upload my program the "L" Led blinks twice, and the "RX" Led blinks three times
While the program is being uploaded the "RX" Led blinks one time every few seconds.

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
If you open File->Preferences and enable verbose output for upload, what do you see during the upload?

avrdude done. Thank you.
Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
Looks like the bootloader not working. Is this a board you purchased from Adafruit? If so, when did you purchase it?

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
The Arduino was given to me so I cant tell you where it is from.
Im pretty sure its not a clone though, since the chip seems to be FTDI and it has Arduino
printed on the board.
I asked a friend of mine to try it on his PC and it worked so i guess everything is ok with the arduino.
However he just installed the FTDI driver and it worked for him. I did the same and it does not work
on either of my 2 PCs.

Re: Can't get my Arduino Nano to work
If it is working on another computer, then the bootloader must be OK. The only other thing I can suggest is to try different USB cables and/or USB ports on your computer. Be aware that switching ports may cause Windows to assign it a different COM port number.
