[SOLVED] Problems uploading to Arduino Nano

ArduinoStarter1 · March 6, 2018, 9:30pm

I use IDE 1.8.5 on my Windows 10 computer.

My sketch "I2C_scanner.ino" works fine on a Arduino Mega 2560.
The computer recognizes port Com 4 (text: "Com 4 (Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560).

When I restart the IDE with the same sketch when it is connected to a Arduino Nano, I only see in a box "Serial ports, Cim1, Com3 and Com 5", but no confirmation that the Nano is recognized.
Uploading the sketch will never end.

Enclosed an overview of the ports (via the control panelen). I removed and reinstalled the devicedriver "USB-Serial CH 340 (Com5)".

Is ther a working solution for connecting the Arduino Nano?

Please do this:

Select Tools > Port > COM5 from the Arduino IDE's menus.
Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE's menus.
Uncheck the checkbox next to Show verbose output during: [] compilation
Check the checkbox next to Show verbose output during: [] upload.
Click the OK button.
Attempt an upload, as you did before.
Wait for the upload process to hang.
Click on the black console pane at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
Press Ctrl+A to select all the text.
Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar. This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
Press Ctrl+V. This will paste the error output from the upload into the code block.
Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
Click the Reply button to post the output.

That's the expected behavior. Your Nano uses a USB-serial chip (CH340) with a generic VID/PID so there is no way for the Arduino IDE to identify that COM5 is a Nano. The USB-serial chip on official Mega 2560 and faithful clones use a programmable USB-serial chip which has a VID/PID specific to the Mega 2560 so the Arduino IDE is able to label the Mega's port in the Tools > Port menu.

MY sketch would not upload to the Nano with IDE 1.8.5

I replaced the IDE backwards to IDE 1.8.3; luckely my program runs good on the Arduino Nano.

My conclusion: there is something wrong in communication between the IDE 1.8.5 and the Arduino Nano.

Have you considered posting the (full) error that you get as suggested by pert.

And I can happily upload to a Nano using IDE 1.8.5, so your conclusion is wrong

I got this error while uploading sketch for my arduino.

I tried different options like " Run as Admin" , changed the board type as " Old Bootloader" but same error happened.

I use Quick Heal antivirus .

Kindly give me a definitive solutions to solve this.

Not so clever to post in a thread that is marked as solved

Did you try temporarily disabling the anti-virus? Can't help much further as I never encounter permission issues.

I found if you select TOOLS>Processor>"old bootloader" seems to work. Strangely I only have this problem on some nanos others are fine. Guess that is just the chip selection they use.

CrossRoads · January 9, 2019, 3:32am

If you have a Programmer, (connects to SCK-MOSI-MISO, Reset, Power, Gnd) you can re-bootload them as Uno and take advantage of the latest bootloader.
I bootload all my 328Ps as an Uno.

Select Tools > Processor > ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) from the Arduino IDE's menus and then try uploading again.

jokerXx · July 24, 2019, 10:09pm

where is the processor your talking about?? there is no processor in tools tab.

pert · July 24, 2019, 10:14pm

OK, then that means you're using an old version of Arduino AVR Boards. If you have an official Arduino Nano that was purchased in 2018 or 2019 you need to use the latest version of Arduino AVR Boards with Tools > Processor > ATmega328P selected in order to upload.

Try this:
Tools > Board > Boards Manager
Wait for the downloads to finish.
Click on "Arduino AVR Boards by Arduino".
Click the "Update" button.
Wait for the update to finish.
Click the "Close" button.

Now try uploading to your Nano again.

I'm getting the Permission Denied error with Chinese and genuine nanos and Unos, including ones I bought 2 years ago that have been uploaded to MANY times without a problem. After trying all the fixes I've seen on Win10 I've been trying on a brand new Ubuntu 18 install (different physical box, not dual boot), only to find the exact same behavior.

Does anyone know a different solution from the ones mentioned here, or a reason why none of these would work?

@DougLeary

On Ubuntu, add yourself to the dialout group.

szaharin · January 13, 2020, 6:49pm

Hello Everybody,

I have an older nano, I would like to use, but I didn' t can connect. In the device manager writes "pashed out since 2012". What do you think about is this problem? I use the old bootloader
Can anybody give me advice?
THX

sterretje · January 13, 2020, 8:12pm

@szaharin, have you tried to update the driver?

Is COM5 the correct port or is something else connected to that?

Did you try the 328P boot loader option?
