Can't upload sketch to Arduino Micro using IDE 2.3.4

[eldord]

Hello
When I try to upload a sketch to Arduino Micro via the Arduino IE 2.3.4, I get this message:

Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = "CATERIN"; type = S
    Software Version = 1.0; No Hardware Version given.
Programmer supports auto addr increment.
Programmer supports buffered memory access with buffersize=128 bytes.

Programmer supports the following devices:
    Device code: 0x44

No matter what I tried according to the recommendation I got from ChatGPT, it still doesn't work.
When I upload from the Arduino Cloud platform, it works perfectly.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Hi @eldord. The output you shared is the output we would expect from a successful upload.

Did Arduino IDE indicate the upload failed? If the upload fails, you will see an "Upload error: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the IDE window:

If the upload succeeds, you will see a "Done uploading." notification there:

Note that the success notification is hidden after a few seconds, so you might miss it if you aren't watching, but you can click the icon at the right side of the status bar to show the hidden notifications again.

If you didn't get an "Upload error: ..." notification then the upload was successful and you don't need to worry about this message.

Notes on the Coloration of Upload Output in Arduino IDE

You might notice some messages printed to the "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window in red text while uploading. The color might give the impression that these messages are intended to communicate some sort of a problem has occurred, but it is not so in this case.

The developers of the 3rd party tool Arduino IDE uses for uploading made an unusual decision to print even the tool's purely informational output to the "standard error" stream (AKA "stderr") instead of the more common practice of printing it on the "standard output" (AKA "stdout") stream. Because it is usually associated with errors or warnings, Arduino IDE colors all output received from the stderr stream red (at least when the default IDE theme is selected).

So don't be mislead by the color of the text during the upload (though you should pay attention to red text printed while compiling because the color is significant in that case). As long as you don't see an "Upload error: ..." notification, all is well with the upload.

When I upload from the Arduino Cloud platform, it works perfectly.

Unlike Arduino IDE, Arduino Cloud Editor suppresses this output from the upload tool. The developers of Arduino IDE felt that all the output produced by the upload tool should be shared with the user, as there might be useful information in that output.

Thank you very much @ptillisch!
You are correct. There is no problem with the upload. I was confused because of the red massage that I saw in the output, and did not even check if the sketch was uploaded successfully.

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.
