- Fixing the avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync error message
As I've got all of the items out while I build a quad I thought it would be useful to capture the screen and show the two main gotchas for those of you who are getting this message.
I hope it helps those of you who have this issue and are scratching your heads.
Thanks for watching, please comment and subscribe.
Happy flying!
I know this is an old video but you saved me so much time trying to figure out what my problem was uploading sketches to my knockoff board.
thank you for this solution. I was beginning to despair.
thanks a lot. i've been trying for weeks!! thank you again.
Got it! Thank you soooooo much! To get rid of this error I just had to switch boards to Arduino mini w/ ATmega 328. Thank you again!
Good video. If this does not fix the error, just uninstall the Arduino board then reinstall with the drivers and make sure Com matches and it should work. This is what worked for me, now works great.
Painless360 Thank you ! You helped me a lot so I could assemble and configure my quadricoptero. Mainly GPS that requires a lot of commitment. I had several problems mainly for the wrong software versions. So I want to make my lessons learned that can help to assemblers: 1 ) Use the Arduino software version 1.0.1 : When I downloaded the current version , could not even compile the controller board software; With version 1.0.1 could compile normally;
2 ) Use the FTDI version 2.8.14.0 . I could not upload due to error stk500_getsync ( ) !!!! . The problem was the driver installed . I used the version 2.8.14.0 driver. I had to force the use of this driver, because Windows always settled a new version that did not work.
3) Always run the program as a user with administrator profile. Always use the windowns compatibility mode Windowns XP SP 3
My set: Controller : Multiwii 2.5 GPS : Crius Neo 6 I2 Gps Nav Crius (Chip Mega 328p ) PC OS: Windowns 7 SP1 ( 64-bit)
Painless360 Thank you !
For me the source of error was the Belkin USB extender N10117 (powered) , which detects the USB to UART FTDI at COM3 but still gives me this error, When I connected directly to the USB on my PC , it works like a charm, I did get a hint about the probable causes from this video, thanks for that.
changing board type worked for me. Thanks buddy.
Helped me figure it out, thanks.
I had the same problem. I just needed to change the port. Thank you!
hi painless,thanks for the video its help me to counter my error..thanks again
Painless, there is one other thing, if you are using the Micro Minimosd (the little square one) and you plug it in wrong it goes into this error. I have done it 2 times by accident, I tried all kind of things but nothing fixes it that I know of.
Hi! I got the same board ( Multiwii SE v2.5) ,and i wanted to refresh the software by arduino 1.0.5.,after sketching, received the error message: avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync. I made everything as i saw in your video, but not better. The LED's not lighting, until connected to PC. Do you have any idea to solve the problem? THX
Csongor Keller Could be all sorts of things if the suggestions in the video didn't get it sorted. Make sure you can see the FTDI board as a COM port in device manager in the PC..
Best of luck.
GREAT WORK
Thanks a lot man. I have been struggling with duemilanove board that worked for some time and stoped working. surprisingly when chosing a duemilanvove board on the drop down list it didnt worked, following your expaliniation i tried some of the other boards with atmega328 and the arduino mini w/Atmega328 worked
yann stephen mandza You are welcome - glad it sorted it :)
thanks Frnd ... ur tip is working , at least for me , again thanx for share
Thank you! Turns out my NANO DCC duino works with Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, not Nano. Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the help.
Thank you for your comments I thought i had bought a NANO from HighQualityForYou
ref:: Mini USB Nano V3.0 ATmega328P-AU Micro-controller Board Arduino-compatible.
I got the same error. i went looking for the processor number as you said and found that NANO didnt work but MINI did - i had thought the mini referred to the USB size but it was the name of the board.
very helpful!
In my laptop only com 6 is show and it show an error :stk500();.When this arduino hardware is connected to friend laptop it is perfect working and no error is show
awesome! thanks
Hi painless, I'm very new in this. I've ordered a "MultiWii SE V. 3.0" but there is standing nothing on the back. There is a mpu6050 (combo), and a HMC 5883L and a BMP 085.
There is a #define in the Mw which called
#define HK_MultiWii_SE_V2. I have activated it and in the Config I can see the movement, but it's the wrong way and the cycle time goes up to over 30000.
I have seen there is a ATMega 328P and tried to figure out which one I should use. But everyone makes this error. What can I do else?
I'm running MW 2.3 on Windows
The problem will be that the board you defined is not the right one and the orientation of the sensors will be out. I'm not sure which is the right one as I've not used this board myself. I'd so to a forum like RCgroups and ask there.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
all i have checked but i am getting the same error ....can say me an alternate solution
i have tried those, still got errors. i dont plug any RX-TX cables but still got that error. any idea? i mean, is there anyway to "Reset" the arduino to initial state or default state?
Not that I know of. I’d try adifferent version of the Arduino software, there’s lots of detail in the forums about these issues. Best of luck!
It does'nt works for me...maybe the issue depends by Windows 10? Thanks
I've been working on this issue on and off for way too long. Turns out I made a dumb mistake and connected the Rx pins between the FTDI and CRIUS boards (and same with the Tx pins), when I should have connected the Rx pins to the corresponding Tx pins.... Whoops
I also changed the "bits per second" in device manager for the COM port I was using, to match the "Overriding baud rate" given in the output in the Arduino IDE: "57600"
is there a way to reset the multiwii board or erase everything and start over so i can re-flash it.
thanx.
Reflashing will should do that, you then need to re-check all of the setting in EEPROM by going through MultiWiiConf...
Best of luck..
THANKS VERY MUCH
Thank-you a whole bunch. Once I really pay attention to your instructions and not just half listen, everything worked perfectly. thanks.......
What worked for me:
Struggled with this for hours. Finally got it to work by timing the upload from the arduino IDE. I think the MicroOSD device has a "boot mode" when starting, then runs program. If you insert the usb cable / FTDI into the computer, then immediately press upload on the arduino IDE - it gets the upload process started while in this initial "boot mode". Hope this helps.
The modes (I'm guessing) when starting green light is on - then the blue light starts flashing rapidly. If you don't get the upload started before blue light is flashing... my arduino IDE would get the avrdude sync error. If you time upload properly during the initial startup - it works? Good luck.
PS - be sure to throw some salt over your shoulder, don't walk under ladders, stay away from black cats... etc. Then it will work.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
I still get this error after choosing the right port and board type and the GUI is not reading the board either. Any ideas why ?
+Mohammed Nabil El Shabrawy Usually wiring or bad board. Best of luck..
+Painless360 I re wired and got another board the same problem. I'm running windows 8.1 pro 64 bit.
Not sure then, USB cable? Best of luck with it.
I got a freeduino USB 1.1 so for that which board should i select because i am using board Arduino nano w/ ATmega328
Virendra Sharma I don't know but as the board looks like a straight copy of the official Arduino Uno board I'd try that board options first..
so what i be like........ choosing Arduino UNO in the board option????
Yes.
Thanks a ton, was really helpful and worked
I did everything but not uploading, programmer is not responding shows...
thank u..it works
I tried to program to supposedly Multiwii SE v2.5 board, after reading pages of solution nothing worked. I entered instead Multiwii Mini and it worked like a charm. Looks like Chinese maker are little mixed up with their packaging. LOl
gracias
thanks a lot
Painless360, my current dilemma is anything but. I still cannot get past this avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync error message. It is driving me nuts, and is the only thing keeping me from GPS flight with the MultiWii. The other components programmed with ease. Could I impose to garner your physical intervention in this matter. I have tried everything else.
Henry S. Rhodes Hi Henry, is this the i2c board? I've had a few that came and never wanted to program, no matter what I did :(
Hello sir... unfortunately the "avrdude" flashes up only when i connect the bluetooth module to my arduino... the programmer works fine for all the sketches. Please help me out with this.
Happy to help but please watch th-cam.com/video/olIqTiSJHIY/w-d-xo.html and come back to me with more detail of what you've tried..
I have tried to fix this error message on 2 different computers. First on Windows 7, 64 bit and the on an older XP machine. I get the same error on both machines even thou I do all that you have suggested many times. The breakout board I am using is a FTDI232. Could it be defective? How does one diagnose this?Thanks,
+sly d Try another USB cable then I'd suspect that the FTDI adapter has a problem.. Best of luck..
+Painless360 Thanks, I have tried 2 cables - no joy. I'll get another FTDI
I can program MultiWii MB with FTDI, but cannot flash to I2C having
stk500_getsync(): not in sync error messages. :(
The common errors are in the video have you checked all of them?
Yes I tried and also I flash with the I2C board with USBasp programmer and flash the I2C but cannot and result showing is (Override _F)
Get "stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding" when trying to upload firmware for i2c-gps module. Have tried selecting all boards - didn't help.
+Yuri Guzun I would go back to the vendor of the board if everything in this video didn't help. Best of luck.
+Painless360 Thanks. Have managed to fix it by burning bootloader using an usbasp avr programmer.
Thanks a lot. Mine was wrong board selection. 328P( Old Bootloader was auto-selected and was causing the problem. Mine was 328 P..Thanks again!
hey I also have some error m having same board as u I flash it with appropriate settings it works well I connect all the receiver pins to multiwii checked the signals in GUI it was all fine I also observed that my multiwii was armed and disarmed properly then I connect the multiwii on quad all connections as u shown but it didn't armed I tried again but next tym leds on multiwii start flashing abnormally sometime stop working I removed it from quad and connect it to PC it connect show com port but on GUI m not getting anything when I connect multiwii with PC green LED blink 6-7 time with 1s blink rate n then no reaction at all .
m I crash that multiwii board or I can recover it nw also plz guide me on this
+Atul kamble what have you already tried?
Painless360 : talking about setup it was 30amp ESC with sunnysky 2212 ,450mm body n 5200mamps 3s battery
to troubleshoot I have tried nothing yet cause it's not responding at all as I said green LED flash for 6-7 times n no LED flashing further it's almost shutdown
+Atul kamble remove all connections from flight controller and try another USB cable.. best of luck!
Painless360 tried it same problem multiwii turn on green LED light 6-7 time n shutdown
falling off a log can be very painful. just keep that in mind when using the reference of "just like falling off a log"
It can be but it’s also very easy too ;)
how to i know the right serial port since I use a Mac?
Sorry, we're not Mac users.. sorry..
Painless360 k.😯
thanks u the best thanks a lot
Ciao ho appena avuto il tuo stesso problema, ho risolto così: quando selezioni la porta e la scheda da strumenti, seleziona processore ATmega328P (Old bootloader) invece di ATmega328P.
Hi I just had your same problem, I solved it like this: when you select the port and the card from tools, select ATmega328P (Old bootloader) processor instead of ATmega328P
m having some error I tried evry typ of board then also I cant resolve it it chek pin connection n then change typ of progamer in software too same error again and again plz help me
+Atul kamble USB Cable?
H8i Painless360, Iam trying make a update of firmware of controller board BGC 2.2 .. but every time I try, i recieve this massage;
Writing firmware...
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
Can you help me ?
Fabricio Medeiros Are you trying to update the firmware using the Arduino program? I've not used Arduino to update the firmware so outside of the ideas in this video I can't help.
Best of luck with it..
Iam use the SympleBGC Gui last version. ..
I've not updated the firmware firmware so outside of the ideas in this video I can't help.
Best of luck with it..
Hey man! what about for Arbotix-M type bots. i keep having the same avr dude thing coming out. and ive checked both the boards and ports.
Hi Joseph, I don't use them myself but this is a common Arduino error that means the software didn't get the right reply from the board. Usually due to board type wrong, bad USB cable/connector or issues on the board itself (like power problems).
Best of luck getting it sorted. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Hi Painless360,GR8 videos thanks they have been very informative,I am currently running 2.2 in arduino for the multiwii 328p from HK,please could you tell me how to update the arduino to the latest version for this board. Thanks.
Hi McHaggus. I have an entire series on this type of flight controller. See th-cam.com/play/PLYsWjANuAm4pD7MHpxjSxkAV6KmWYPcH7.html
Hope this helps.
Happy flying!
Painless360 Thank's will check it out.
Cheers a.
McHaggus Thank's 2.3 sketch uploaded and working, was a painless procedure after all.
Cheers a.
McHaggus Great news, glad you've got it working. Lots of info on this channel if you get stuck! Happy flying!
Please tell me how to solve the problem getsync and Programmer not supporting in arduino uno
Without more detail it's impossible to offer any advice. Happy to help but please watch th-cam.com/video/olIqTiSJHIY/w-d-xo.html and come back to me with more detail of what you've tried..
This is my error message (something similar I believe)
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer
Any help with this?
+wiskyBOY123 Not sure - I'd google the code and see what comes up...
fixed it. thks
having the same problem can u help me
I believe my mistake was choosing the wrong board or processor from the tools menu. Also make sure you know what com port you are using. It has been a long while that I had this issue so sorry in advance if I am not too detailed. All I remember is that it was a silly mistake of mine for setting up the wrong thing in the Tool menu.
Also FYI I use a MacbookPro though the same principle should apply. I hope I helped.
thx, i solve my error :)
Still didn't got it.
The error is still there
I am using mega 2560
Pls help
I don't use these flight controllers any more. All I knew was in this video.. Happy flying!
How can I fix this on my BGC 2.2 controller board:
avrdude.exe: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
Any idea ? THx
it works for me
I am getting this error message while trying to flash my nano for use with flashing escs with blheli. I know I have the right com port and rate but i still get it:(.
I would check the USB cable you are using and confirm that Tx goes to Rx on the board.
Best of luck.
Painless360
i don't know how to check that?
Painless360
I tried a different cable and no luck
This error means that the program isn't getting the response it needs from the bao4rds you have selected for some reason could be driver, com port selection, board and CPU selection, USB cable issues, FTDI problem or board problem. You will need to check and confirm each in turn.
Best of luck.
Painless360 i tried but there is an error downloading software. It says "A service installation section in this INF is invalid."
chinese arduino nano with ch340: very simple, just jump the 5v pin to the reset pin next to it and all works perfectly.
Thank you, for me it was incorrect com port + I had to install some drivers as I have a Chinese copy CH340G
Remove any wire from pin0(RX) while uploading the code, It'll work.
disconnect blue tooth or other rx-tx module
after trying 3 hours I get it work
Thank you shaiful, its works!!!
that's it. Thanks dude.
I've tried every ATMega 328 on the list and my com port is definitely correct as device manager properly picks it up. I'm at a total loss :-(
Hi, this video isn't an exhaustive list of causes. You need to google the error and run through all the potential issues until you find the one that's causing your issue. I would start here - arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/17/some-dude-named-avr-wont-let-me-upload-my-program-aka-avrdude-stk500-getsync
Kabab
Hard to see with the camera moving all the time but I tracing it out by freeze framing the video I think I get that the orange and yellow wires coming out of the MinimOSD are NOT crossed - Tx is going to Tx on the FTDI board.
I would try switching these two wires over on one end and give it another go. Sorry if this isn't it but a static shot is a lot easier to follow when it's wiring..
Hope it helps
Not working for attiny
Please post the solution when you get it working.. Best of luck
Thank you so much it works for me! I love you man...no homo lol
I've had the same problem with arduino Mega, but even install driver didn't work. But i have found a solution. You can't have plugged anything in TX0 and RX0 on your board. Unplug it and upload. Worked for me
Thanks for posting! :D
sorry my aurdino problem is
No protocoal: Aurdino uno r3
Happy to help but please watch th-cam.com/video/olIqTiSJHIY/w-d-xo.html and come back to me with more detail of what you've tried..
I'm having the same problem kaba
I'm just about to throw out this board altogether!!!
I happend to accidentally break off the mini USB on my multiwii mega pirate board... Anyhow I can rewire this through the FTDI connector right? If the answer is yes, then my next question is, why is it the Multiwii Config program doesn't read the movements on my board? Before, when i was actually using the mini usb port on the board, everything in the multiwii config program worked fine.
The only reason why I'm trying to re-flash this board is because I can't get it to ARM. So my last question is... The only way I can fix this is through the programming side of things and not wiring, right?
P.S. I watched your video on ARMING and how you change the endpoints on your transmitter. Well, I've done that and it still doesn't arm.
I've not used this board myself but the FTDI should work if the USB is broken. It's odd that it won't arm. Can you setup the board to arm using a switch on the TX (see my video on setting Multiwii modes)?Are you sure that that the rudder channel isn't reversed? Does it arm if you hold the throttle stick to the bottom /left instead? You do have to hold the stick to the bottom right for a few seconds for it to arm.Sorry I can't be more help. I hope you get it sorted soon.
please help me
I have both correct, but still problem arises
neither worked
