hey,
can you please send your arduino you use and your code?

3

Using Arduino Uno3 and blink example.

4

try this:

  • In the Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Board and select Arduino Uno.
  • Then, go to Tools > Port and select the correct COM port where your Arduino Uno is connected.
5

IDE shows UNO and port3.

6

can you send a screenshot of what's coming when you click on tools?

My first attempt to solve this woulkd be to clear the cache; you can do so by deleting the directory C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\arduino.

@hypergamer7391
Note that the error message in the opening post shows that @irrigatortech is using an Uno.
Also note that this is a linker/compiler error so COM ports are not involved.

Delete old file C:\Users\Wipf Paul\AppData\Local\Arduino15, and everything is fine. Thanks all.
