Jun 11, 2019 at 9:59 comment added barlop @nick re time limit, even quicker is buying one from a shop, t's probably cheap enough and widely available enough and by getting it from a shop you get it straight away and you won't get messed around by a late delivery

Jun 7, 2019 at 3:58 comment added barlop @JakeGould Well it gets darker, 'cos most of the time these things aren't dead(i'd be reluctant to declare something dead particularly when just not working right), but it's too much effort to fix(unless doing so for fun and with no time limit). Fortunately these things aren't conscious so it's not too dark. And in this case he has a deadline and it's cheap, so even if it is very fixable(given time and effort), it makes more sense to get a new one. (and that's even if you still haven't given up on the not working one)

Jun 7, 2019 at 3:21 comment added barlop Well the two threads I read mentioned buying a little device to do it, but given that you are at uni and have a project and so on, and computer issues can take ages.. Why not just ask your mum/dad/grandpa to give you money to get a new arduino uno? University costs thousands and this is a one off payment of like $20 or something. It's peanuts for anybody that is working. There are probably some going for $5 on ebay. It's peanuts. It's a lot less than university books(back when students used books, I don't know if they do still)
Jun 5, 2019 at 12:17 comment added nick just to check back in bootloading with a second uno isnt working til now i am getting the same error massage over and over again
Jun 5, 2019 at 10:09 comment added nick hahaha thanks you are right with that i found something and i can reboot the bootloader with another arduino so i took my friends uno ill post the outcome when im done
Jun 5, 2019 at 10:06 comment added barlop Also bear in mind that the day you die you may also say you didn't do anything weird the day before. But sometimes things fail.
Jun 5, 2019 at 10:05 comment added barlop I don't really have much of a clue as I have never encoutnered anything lke it, but judging by the 2 threads I read, it looks like you either a)buy another arduino or B) Buy a USBtinyISP (like $5) or wingoneer usbasp, and use it to fix the arduino
Jun 5, 2019 at 9:59 comment added nick and about the fact i took it out of the locker is only to tell i didnt do anything wierd with it and it was on 1 place overnight
Jun 5, 2019 at 9:58 comment added nick not much my teachers havent gotten this error neither and its for my school project witch only has 3 weeks left i know this is a bootloader error but i dont know ho to fix it
Jun 5, 2019 at 9:55 comment added barlop A) The fact that you took the arduino out of your locker is not relevant to the computer question B) what did you find when you googled the error message
