What is going on? I can't copy from AI to paste code to my board?
I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @richard2336.
In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.
This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
For informed help, please read and follow the forum instructions presented in the "How to get the best out of this forum" post.
Rather than trying to paste code to your board try instead compiling it and uploading it to your board.
This post does not help a man that just spent $1000.00 on Arduino and am just trying to make sense of things. Especially when I could cut and paste before I spent all the money. Did I get scammed? Feels like it.
I'm impressed! Which one?
And we are just trying to make sense of your post.
Where did you paste it to before?
Where are you pasting it to now?
Signed up for what?
How could you possibly spend "$1000.00 on Arduino"?
If your questions to the AI bot were as vague as your questions here, It could not have given you working code.
I don't know but it feels like we are being trolled.

Where were you pasting to beforehand? Presumably you're talking about wanting to copy an Arduino sketch that an AI has written for you and paste it into the Arduino IDE. Is that true? Which version number of the IDE are you using? if you try to paste something to this forum, what happens?
I copy off of AI and when I go to my code to paste. The paste button is not lit up for use.
What did you "sign up" for? How do you think that act impacted your ability to cut and paste?
made me believe I could get the AI to write the code I need for my project. I bout all the equipment and board, servos and sensors. signed up for the cloud and the best most expensive membership Arduino offered. Now I cant copy and paste.
There is a lot of that AI hype around.
Don't believe any of it, and if you look through this forum, you will also see lots of complaints about Arduino Cloud products.
You might be happier with the IDE computer app.
Hi @richard2336.
Thanks for your report. I can reproduce the bug and have reported it to the Arduino Cloud developers. I'll post an update here if I receive any news about a resolution.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
As a workaround, please press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (or Command+V if you are using macOS) to paste code into the Arduino Cloud Editor instead of selecting "Paste" from the context menu. I verified the keyboard shortcut works fine.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
What is "Control-C"? I am still having the problem.
Yes. That did not work.
@richard2336 please try this:
- Ask the AI to generate some code for you.
- Copy the code provided by the AI exactly as you have always done.
For example, if you are using ChatGPT, you can click the "Copy code" icon in the code block:
- Open a sketch in Arduino Cloud Editor.
- Click on the editor panel in the Cloud Editor page.
- Press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard (or if you are using macOS, press and hold the Command key instead).
- Press and release the V key on your keyboard.
- Release the Ctrl key on your keyboard (or if you are using macOS, release the Command key instead).
You should now see that the code you copied from the AI has been pasted into the sketch in Cloud Editor as expected. If you have any questions or problems while following those instructions, or if the copied code is not pasted as expected, please let us know and we'll provide further assistance.
You don't need to do anything different than normal when copying the code. You only need to change your procedure for pasting the code.

is it necessary to install the Cloud Agent before you can use the Cloud Editor?
Arduino Cloud Agent acts as a "bridge" between Cloud Editor and the local port (e.g., serial port) of your Arduino board. So you only need to have Cloud Agent installed in order to allow Cloud Editor to recognize the local ports of connected boards and to upload sketches to the board.
When you are only using Cloud Editor to write and compile sketches for any of the supported boards, there is no need to have Cloud Agent installed or running.
Ah, okay, thank you.
