I've been playing with my Arduino Boards for a while. I have an Arduino Nano and a Duemilanove 328.

I've been able to program both of them without problems for weeks. Any example project I try will compile and upload with no issue.

I recently got an Ethernet shield... I'm trying some test sketches and no matter which board I try, with the shield attached I get:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

As I said, without the Ethernet shield attached all is bliss....

Do I have a bad shield or am I just doing something stupid?

  • I don't know how it works but Go to the Device manager and Assign a different COM port to your Arduino over there! It worked for me :D – Manav Jan 6 '17 at 7:44

The Ethernet Shield uses the pins D10, D11, D12 and D13 on the Arduino UNO. I presume there is a conflict and you use one or more of these digital pins in your setup already.

A nice overview of possible conflicts between shields and arduino boards can be found at: http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/ShieldPinUsage
