I was playing around with my Arduino Uno R3 board with Sublime Text 2 & 'Stino' as IDE
I am not sure if it is my code is the problem or if I broke something...
I pressed upload while another sketch didn't finish uploading, even the original Arduino IDE can't upload new sketches anymore!

This is my code:

// singleServo.ino

#include <Servo.h>

Servo servo;
const int button = 2;
const int led = 13;
const int buzzerPin = 10;
const int duration = 180;

int stateLED = LOW;
int previous = LOW;

void setup() {
    pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(button, INPUT);
    pinMode(buzzerPin, OUTPUT);
    Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
    int stateButton;

    stateButton = digitalRead(button);

    if (stateButton == LOW && previous == LOW) {
        if (stateLED == HIGH) 
        { 
            stateLED = LOW; 
            initAction(duration);
        }
        else 
        { 
            stateLED = HIGH;
        }
    }

    digitalWrite(led, stateLED);
    previous = stateButton;
    servo.detach();
}

void initAction(int time_iA){
    tone(buzzerPin, 523, 200);
    delay(200);

    shiftServo(180, time_iA);

    tone(buzzerPin, 262, 200);
}

void shiftServo(int angle, int time_sS) {
    servo.attach(9);
    delay(500);
    int position;

    for(position=0; position <= angle; position += 1)
    {
        servo.write(position);
        delay(time_sS / 180);
        Serial.println(servo.read());
    }
    // for(position=angle; position >= 0; position -= 1)
    // {
    //  servo.write(position);
    //  delay(time_sS / 90);
    // }
}

I am a newbie with all things Arduino - Please help!

EDIT: After rebooting the system (Ubuntu Linux 14.04) everything was working just fine again!
But I'm going to take the serial functions out too.

I've got the same problem on my Ubuntu. Eventually, I was stuck at every uploading, even after unplugging+replugging the device.

Killing all avrdude process, remove the problem.

sudo killall avrdude

or with new IDEs:

sudo killall avrdude_bin

You have to wait for the first and all other uploads to fail.

If you are not sure, a reboot is the most reliable solution.

Also note that if your sketch sends a lot of data over serial, a manual reset of the board may be needed.

I had this happen to me on an UNO R3. I solved the issue by disabling Bluetooth on my laptop. It was causing a conflict on COM5.

I had ruled out the board, cable, and IDE. Finally noticed in Device Manager that COM5 had entries (one being the Arduino and the other being Bluetooth)

Hope that helps someone else that might have this issue in the future.

I had the same problem with arduino uno r3 on win10. The solution was simple:

  1. open the task manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)
  2. stop all open COM processes and the arduino upload worked again.
