title: Standalone Arduino not uploading
body: <p>I'm trying to build my own arduino and i'm having some trouble while uploading the code.</p>
  
  <p>I'm pretty sure my build is correct because the LED on the pin 13 blinks 3 times when i press the reset button.</p>
  
  <p>The error i get when i try to upload is:</p>

  <p>My OS is Windows 8 and the chip i'm trying to use is the Atmega328P-PU</p>
  
  <p>I did check the port and the drivers and i tried pressing the reset button while uploading.</p>
