Answer
This error may occur when you select a wrong board on ARduino IDE. For example, you connect Arduino MEGA to your PC, but board on Arduino IDE is Arduino UNO. Please do the following:
- Connect Arduino to PC via USB cable.
- Make sure that USB port is appeared on Device Manager
- Open Arduino IDE.
- Select Arduino board that you are using
- Select Arduino serial port (number may be different) that your current Arduino Board connects to.
- Click Upload button on Arduino IDE to upload code to Arduino
- Verify it succeeds or not
