Can't Upload

Hello! I have a problem in uploading. Even a sample of blink in LED_BUILTIN doen't work.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

Remove any connections to pins 0 and 1 on your Arduino board. These pins are used for communication with your computer, including uploads. Connecting anything to these pins can interfere with uploads.

Make sure you have the correct board selected from the Tools > Board menu.

Make sure you have selected the port of your Arduino board from the Tools > Port menu.

Sometimes the port will be labeled with the board name in the menu. Other times it will not. If you don’t know which port is your Arduino board, you can find it like this:

  • Unplug your Arduino board from the computer.
  • Tools > Port
  • Note the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
  • Close the Tools menu. The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
  • Plug your Arduino board into the computer.
  • Tools > Port - The new port listed in the menu is your Arduino board.

Hey Mr Pert, maybe you should post that as a sticky.....you seem to type it a lot. Or is it a standard cut'n'paste.

It's a copy/paste. I haven't gotten involved in the stickies thing beyond one or two I was specifically asked by Arduino to write.

I did publish most of my stock forum answers as a troubleshooting guide though:

Please post the sketch you are using, specify which hardware you run it on, and the settings in the IDE which you use.

Some detail's are already shared.
