     avrdude done.  Thank you.

     Problem uploading to board.  See

Finally I can solve the problem. Remove all wire from Arduino Dev Board and Just upload the sketch only to the dev board and when upload done. Reconnect all the wires again and Done.

Hope this will help somebody... I got this same error "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding" because my COM port was not properly connected even though it was showing as my board connected with COM1 port. My details are Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

I had to disable driver signature enforcement in windows 8.1 after that I installed drivers from device manager.Once I restarted my PC then only COM4 was displayed in ports list in Arduino IDE.

I found the "programmer is not responding" error when I tried to flash my attiny85. I got rid of the annoying error when I switched to Arduino IDE 1.6.4 and chose the Arduino Genuino/ Uno as board. That's the important part and a common error: don't switch to "Arduino as ISP" mode when you upload the example sketch named "ArduinoISP". And another thing to remember is to use the right capacitor. I first used a 1000mF cap and thought it could work but I was wrong. Use something in the 10mf - 100mF range.

Thanks for your attention, Good luck

In my case I had Arduino (UNO) pin0 and pin1 connected to a seven segments display. Pin 0 and 1 are used in the upload communication. Before upload remove pin 0 and 1 and reset them after upload. Works for me.
