Arduino Uno says I don't have enough memory

Projects Programming
1

Hi everyone!!
First time asking for help so please bear with me
Wonder if anyone can help me?
I have an "Arduino Uno" I bought a few years ago to have a go at a magazine project
"HOW TO BUILD A ROBOT" by Author Jonathan Parkyn
I have been working with it most of the day going through some of the projects in the magazine but things seem to be going pair shape the further I get into the mag the more problems I encounter.
My main problem is it seems to have stop working, saying I don't have enough space and it doesn't matter what size a programme I use. It says the same basically except the percentage of space being used.
I will enclose the full error data report it keeps coming up with and hopefully someone can help me get on track to make a robot...
I will keep looking for a solution however if someone can help much appreciated...

Cheers Sean B

I can't see the problem you describe there.

This indicates you have plenty of memory remaining.

It looks like it compiled and uploaded just fine. The only warning it is giving is at the end where it complains about a 'library' and a 'sketches' folder inside your 'libraries' folder. Those should not be there.

Hi todd
thanks for the quick reply.. So why is it not uploading the programme?? It will not load even the basic programmes but it was fine earlier on but when I tried the sound sensor programme it went all awry... Any ideas how to fix it?? Remember I am only a beginner so I know it is probably me but any tips??

Cheers Sean B

Thanks BLh64

I'm only starting out with this so where should they be I saved arduino in my program files... Where do you recommend they should go please

Many thanks Sean B

7

please show error message where it says it failed to upload

8

The typical location on Windows is

C:\users\ <username>\Documents\Arduino\

and any libraries you install will go

C:\users\ <username>\Documents\Arduino\libraries\

avrdude done. Thank you.

It says it uploaded and verified your sketch. If the sketch is not doing what you expected then there may be a problem in the sketch?

The "toneMelody" example sketch you show above does nothing but play music on Pin 8. Do you have a speaker connected to Pin 8 as described in the tutorial for that example?
