user-1: I'm completely new to Arduino, I bought a Rampos 1.4 and an Arduino Mega 2560 to build a Prusa Mendel 3D printer.
But when I connect the Arduino via USB to my computer, open the software and click to upload the blink example, 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.

user15075: Sorry I do not have the reputation to comment. I think your problem can be because you selected the wrong settings for your board. Check in Tools option, and make sure Board, Processor and Port is correct.
