I am getting following error when trying to upload new firmware to printer "avrdude: stk500_getsync(

Does anyone know why I would be receiving this error? I have loaded the drivers for the printer properly and everything should be fine

I am getting following error when trying to upload new firmware to printer
"avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00"

Any ideas what would cause this? Thank you.

I tried it two additional times and received the following errors

"avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x49

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x4e"

Not sure what is going on. Ports are synced to 115200 and all of that. Perhaps I will try an uninstall driver software and reinstall but otherwise I have no clue. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Apparently this is an IC error or IC blown out on the board if everything checks out. Good stuff, it's a new board for me apparently :/

Repetier

such things sometimes happen even with good boards. As firmware developer I upload quite often and while it normally works I get times where I get such errors for some time and then it works again for days/weeks. Often a reboot and unplug helps.
