Hi @PA3040

Which board do you have selected from the Tools > Board menu in Arduino IDE?

Which version of Arduino IDE are you using (e.g., "2.0.1")? The version is shown on the window title bar and also in the Help > About dialog.

I ask for this information because I want to give you the appropriate instructions for the IDE version you are using.

Hi
Thanks for reply

The board is selected is Arduino Uno

I am using 2.0.1\ Version
Please advise

LMGFY? ah - In Sirkit Programmer :-}

OK, great. Do you want to continue to use the Arduino as ISP to connect the target Arduino Uno board to your computer, or do you want to use a USB cable connected directly between the computer and the target Arduino Uno board?

Sorry for late reply
Yes........I want to continue to use the Arduino as ISP to connect the target Arduino Uno

Unfortunately it is not possible to do an "Upload Using Programmer" operation by clicking the "Upload" button in Arduino IDE 2.x

There were a couple of features in Arduino IDE 1.x that made it possible, but those haven't been implemented in Arduino IDE 2.x yet.

So I'm afraid for now you will need to use either the Sketch > Upload Using Programmer menu item or the Ctrl+Shift+U keyboard shortcut.

Hi Thanks for the reply

Do we able do this by writing bootloader
This programmer is very user friendly and upload the program easily

Previously I used USBasp which giving lot of troubles during uploads

If you do a "Burn Bootloader" operation and then connect your Uno board to your computer using the USB cable instead of the "Arduino as ISP" programmer, then yes you will be able to use the "Upload" button to upload sketches to the Uno.

No Dear

I am asking .. Can we able to write simple bootloader that can allow to upload code using upload button

Please advise

If you are asking if it is possible to upload through the "Arduino as ISP" programmer, the answer is no.

The only way you could do it is by creating a custom boards platform that has its upload action command pattern configured to use the "Arduino as ISP" programmer. That is an advanced endeavor and I don't think it is worth the effort when compared to just using the Sketch > Upload Using Programmer menu item or the Ctrl+Shift+U keyboard shortcut. But it might be worth doing just for the fun of it if you are up for a challenge and want to learn more about the Arduino platform framework. The documentation is here:
