Southerner:
Is there an issue with IDE 1.8.9? I downloaded and installed it a few days ago. Today I tried to use it but everything returns a "Error compiling for Arduino/Genuino Uno" and Board Info says it is a Arduino/Genuino Uno and it is on port Com6. This is using a Windows 7 desktop. Even the ArduinoISP example sketch returns that same error. I am unable to do anything with it. Did I miss something? I will re download it and reinstall it but this threw me since the previous version I had installed did not have a problem with these boards.Thank you.
Please do this:
- When you encounter an error, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages" in the Arduino IDE (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper at the top right corner of the black console window in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button..
- In a forum reply here, click on the reply field.
- Click the </> button on the forum toolbar. This will add the forum's code tags markup to your reply.
- Press "Ctrl + V". This will paste the error between the code tags.
- Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
If the text exceeds the forum's 9000 character limit, save it to a .txt file and post it as an attachment. If you click the "Reply" button here, you will see an "Attachments and other settings" link.
