I'm completely new on Arduino, I bought a Rampos 1.4 and an Arduino Mega 2560 to build a Prusa Mendel 3D printer.

But when I connet the Arduino via USB to my computer, I open the software and I click to upload the example blink, but it does anything and says Uploading to i/o board.

This happens when I use Arduino 0022 and then when I use Arduino 1.0.5 r2 that is the problem: 

avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer

I don't know what is happening, and I don't know what to do.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
    
you need to read the extremely comprehensive getting started documentation on the Arduino website. this is off-topic here as it is way to broad to teach the basics and fundamentals of working with an Arduino. this is about specific solvable questions, not help teach me I don't want to read type questions. –  Jarrod Roberson Jul 17 '14 at 18:04
    
I searched on Google during 2 hours until make that post, I'm not of that people you say. Now I'm searching that getting started that you said. –  oriol20 Jul 17 '14 at 18:06
    
And @JarrodRoberson, I'm not english and I had several mistakes to write and I to read. Is that what I have to read? arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows –  oriol20 Jul 17 '14 at 18:10
    
I've done all the getting started, and it happened another time. I don't know what to do, now the port changed from COM12 to COM3, but it's still not working. –  oriol20 Jul 17 '14 at 18:18
    
You need to select the proper board and port. –  TOMATO Jul 17 '14 at 21:19
