The element14 Arduino contest that I announced a few weeks ago has had its deadline extended! You now have an extra two weeks to get your projects in. Make sure you post them in the element14 Arduino group, and as a response to my youtube video by February 14th! It’s Valentine’s Day, so it’s easy to remember!
In other news, I’m now the designated “Arduino Expert” on the element14 community boards! You can ask me an Arduino question here. Also, be sure to check out the press release.

Hi Jeremy,
After getting inspired by your video tutorials I have bought an Arduino board and tried out the 1st program in your tutorial.
I get this error, I tried searching on blogs and did not succeed.
You being an Arduino expert can you suggest me what is the reason for the failure and how do I resolve it?
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0×00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0×14, resp=0×51

This indicates that your computer can’t talk to the arduino. Is the light on on the arduino? Do you have the right com port and board selected in the software? Where did you get the board from?
