Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Whilst going through the users manual, I make it to the eeprom clear example which when i try to upload gives the message:

avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: stk500v2_getsync(): timeout communicating with programmer

The RX LED flashes orange however the TX LED does not flash at all.
I'm using Arduino 1.8.3
I have the correct board as stated in the User's manual:

Board: Arduino Mega 2560

Any help please?

The fourth to last line of your post is most likely your issue.

Try Arduino 1.6

Try Arduino 1.6

downloaded 1.6.0 and still same message :/

A search of google for the error message brought me to a Stackoverflow page regarding MEGA 2560 boards. There are several points mentioned which could possibly be the cause for this message. The following link lists them:

One potential issue is that you do not have the proper drivers for the RAMBo installed on your PC. Another more serious issue would be that your RAMBo has a corrupt/nonexistent bootloader.

Hello, this might not be relevant, I had the same problem today.
Was connected to Rostock max v2 thru matter control at the same time I was trying to compile and upload to Arduino.
Found that I had to disconnect the printer from Matter Control program, than was able to upload new compile.
Felt really embarrassed, but nobody around.
