Just a few days ago I had no problem running the Arduino editor with my chromebook but all of a sudden the past two days every time I try to upload to my Sparkfun Inventors Kit redboard I keep getting this error. Can anyone help?
We have been experiencing the same error when trying to upload the blink on a Nano but selecting Uno from the Select Board modal. @sandeepmistry you can try to reproduce like that maybe
I am currently having this same issue with the new Arduino Create for Education App with our student's Dell 11 Chromebooks.
We are using: Version 63.0.3239.140 (Official Build) (64-bit)
It was working previously on Macs before we switched to the Create for Education App on the Chromebooks. It does upload at first, but then the error happens and it will not upload after that without changing Arduino boards
One of the sketches we are using is: Arduino Cloud (it's for the Adafruit Neomatrix light boards).
Again, we've recently switched from the CPU-based IDE on MacBook Pros to the Create for Education App and have changed nothing else. It usually uploads normally to the Uno once or twice before this error occurs.
@dan_bell would you be able to try again without the Neomatrix connected, I'm wondering if the Chrome OS devices might not be able to supply enough current over USB?
I've been able to reproduce the issue here, but only when the Serial monitor of Create is open and I quickly load a sketch right after the other. I'm not sure if it's the same scenario as what you are hitting.
Do you have the serial monitor of Create open when loading the sketch by any chance?
There will be a new v1.0.11 release on the Chrome Web Store today, which includes fix for this if the serial monitor was open during sketch upload and sketches were uploaded quickly.
@dan_bell I don't expect it to solve the scenario you are seeing, but let us know. Also, if you refresh the Arduino Create page, does the issue still occur?
Yes, students do still experience the issue after refreshing the app/page.
I did see the new version for Arduino Create on the Chrome App Store, but we are using the version for education, which is pushed out to us via our Google Admin. Is this version of the app updated as well? Would we need to have it reinstalled by our admin to update?
Getting the above error continuously using Dell chrome book and genuine UNO r3. Even on one bought this week.
Found a work around.
Close the monitor window.
re-select the board from the drop down menu.
It displays slightly differently. Shows the first letter of the port assignment.
Upload sketch.
At least 30-40% of my students per class are still getting this error on their Chromebooks. Today, though, a student thought to login to their create.arduino.cc account on one of our Macbook Pros and, after I installed the plugin, things started working smoothly. I tried this with several other students who were having the same error on their Chromebooks and it worked for all of them.
So it does seem to be a Chromebook-specific issue. Again, we are using Dell Chromebook 11 generation 2 Chromebooks.
