Hello,
All I am trying to do is run "blink". It runs on my Duemilanove but neither of my new metro boards.
I have done much searching of the internet, have found answers, but none of them solve my problem.
I am getting "avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x30", etc. when I try to upload BLINK onto it. Trouble shooting steps gotten here: https://arduino.stackexchange.com/quest ... ed-avr-won (See below)
After all of the troubleshooting all I can think is there is a problem with the serial port or they are both dead (IMO Unlikely. I just got them yesterday).
When I plug in my good ol' Duemilanove i see com ports 3 and 4 but with the metro I am only seeing com 4.
I have a feeling it's the serial ports issue but have no idea what to do next.
Help please!
- Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.
- Press the reset button on the board.
- Restart the Arduino IDE.
- Make sure you select the right board in Tools ► Board ►, e.g.
- Make sure you selected the right port in Tools ► Serial Port ►. One way to figure out which port it is on is by following these steps:
-Disconnect the USB cable.
-Go to Tools ► Serial Port ► and see which ports are listed (e.g. COM4 COM5 COM14).
-Reconnect the USB cable.
-Go back to Tools ► Serial Port ►, and see which port appeared that wasn't there before.
-Make sure digital pins 0 and 1 do not have any parts connected, including any shields.
-Double-check all board-related issues in the "easy fixes" list above.
-Make sure the microcontroller is seated correctly.
-You may need to burn the bootloader.
-Replace the microcontroller if you have another one handy nearby.
-You may have bricked your Arduino. Sorry :(

When you start getting the "avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x30" messages, try pressing reset on the board.

Thanks for your quick response!
I have tried the reset button on both boards. No luck.

Sorry one more note, I just got these boards yesterday and this is my first time trying to use them.
Dunno if that helps.

Which Metro boards do you have?

The Aduino compatible boards.
Adafruit METRO 328 - Arduino Compatible - with Headers - ATmega328 PID: 2488

OK, that's effectively an Arduino UNO. So you can broaden your search to include that.

Ok I will do more research.
Just a side note. I plugged them into my linux machine (ubuntu studio) and it didn't even detect the boards.
Maybe that helps. I dunno. Off to research and try those drivers.

Ok did more troubleshooting. The board should show up under serial ports in device management when neither of them do.
So, they aren't reading the boards? These are new. What do I do? I am at the end of my rope. 2 new boards and just errors. Why does a board made in 2009 work better than these?
I'm not mad or ranting. Just very discouraged at this point.
No other advice?

Re: metro - avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x30
I remebered that I bought a mini a couple weeks back and its giving me the same problem.
I've done all the troubleshooting I can at this point.
Looking forward to additional advice.
Thanks for everyone's time.

Are you using a cable that you have tested for communication? (used it on another device).

It was the chord. Evidently a $1 cable from the dollar tree works better than expensive chords from all over.
Lol.
Test your cables people!!

I'd assumed you were using a proven cable since you mentioned that your Duemilanove was connecting.
The cost of the cable isn't a factor. It's a matter of how many wires it has in it: 5v & ground, or 5v, ground, D+, and D-.

The D... Uses the usb-b printer cable because its a million years old so I couldn't swap cables.
The dollar store cable was unproven and luck of the draw I guess. Lol
Thank you for your time and patience.
