<p>I'm in distress here fellow people. I'm a noob to 3d printers and want to become an expert. Everybody has to start at the bottom right?

And for port I'm selecting <code>COM3</code>, which is information I found in device manager, and the file I'm selecting to upload is <code>SkynetV.1.?alfa.ino</code>.

Please read: https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/4603/anet-a6-firmware and go for Marlin (although it is the A6, it also applies to the A8)

Could you edit your question to include a screenshot of the device manager, in particular `COM3`? Are you sure that you have the correct drivers installed? *Or* if you have fixed your problem, could you post the solution? Thanks in advance.

*Skynet3D was a very old fork from Marlin firmware, all functionality (more specifically for the odd LCD screens used by Anet) have been merged into Marlin firmware. Just get the latest version of Marlin. The current and final release of branch 1.1.x is 1.1.9 further development will be done in 2.0.x. Version 1.1.9 works perfectly fine for the Anet A8.*
