title: Arduino Uno Upload Fails
body: <p>I have received an arduino uno and some code for it as part of a project I am working on. I have never worked with them before so this is a completely new experience for me. </p>
  
  <p>I am using the Arduino application from their website and when I compile the code it works fine. When I upload however I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x41
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have looked at every single google result returned for this and I haven't gotten anywhere. I have tried uploading on 3 different machines with a minimum of two different operating systems on each machine. How on earth do I get it to accept this code?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
