avrdude : stk500_get sync attempt 10 of 10 not in sync : resp=0x20 how do i get pass this error for ardunio uno board When I first started with a bare minimum code. The compiler compiles the code, but when I try to upload, this is the error message I get:

 AVRDUDE: STK500_GETSYNC&lt;&gt; ATTEMPT 10 OF 10 NOT IN SYNC :RESP=0X20 


How do I fix this?
There are multiple reasons why you are getting this error.


Bootloader is either missing or corrupted. This is fairly unlikely.
Wire connected to pin 0 (RX)
Wrong COM port is chosen within the arduino IDE.
Drivers are not installed. You can update it within the Device Manager if you are using Windows.
