Hello,

I am trying to upload a sketch on my TinyDuino but I keep getting the following error: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding. I have found other posts about this error but no solution.

I think I properly followed all the instructions here: https://tiny-circuits.com/learn/learn2/.

I am using the Arduino IDE 1.0.5 on a Mac and I selected the board "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini (3.3V, 8MHz) w/ ATmega328".

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below are the verbose logs of the Arduino IDE during the failed upload.

Cheers,

Thomas

avrdude done.  Thank you.


Hello,

Great, I found my solution. I hope this will help others: I reinstalled the latest FTDI drivers from the tutorial page I mentioned before and it fixed my upload issue. I already had FTDI drivers from previous Arduino musings but I guess they were not up to date or something.

Cheers,

Thomas
