Arduino Not Loading

[mikemulcahy]

Just got my Arduino Elite R4 Wifi from Sunfounder and I am trying to complete McWhorter's Lesson 1.

1. Downloaded IDE and configured it for an Arduino Uno Wifi from the dropdown.
2. Noted that the board was connected to COM3
3. When the board powered up, the LED array flashed a startup pattern and now shows a heart, There is a green LED on the right side of the board. The yellow LED near pin 13 is flashing about once a second.
4. I copied the program verbatim which should simply turn on the pin 13 LED continuously.
5. I compile the program successfully, but then get the error messages while the upload proceeds. I think.
6. The board stays in the same state as in 3 above.

Any suggestions?

Sketch uses 724 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.

Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Just to clarify, is the board an UNO R4?
When you say copied do you mean copy/paste or did you key in the sketch?

Problem solved. I keyed in the program.

The problem is that I had not installed the proper board in the IDE and selected the proper software version that McWhorter did. Once I did that, it compiled,loaded and executed correctly.
