I'm trying to use Arduino, but anything I try to compile gives an error
I've even tried creating a document and saving it in a folder and it still gives the same error
Sorry for the English, I used Google Translate for this.
Hi @nasantin. I'm going to ask you to post the full output from a compilation.
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
Please do this:
Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.
Wait for the compilation to fail.
You will see a "Compilation error: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window. Click the "COPY ERROR MESSAGES" button on that notification.
Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
You are welcome to redact your Windows username from the output, but don't go overboard. The screenshot you provided is essentially worthless because you redacted the information we would need to understand the problem.
Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
Click the "Reply" button to post the output.
In case the output is longer than the forum software will allow to be added to a post, you can instead save it to a .txt file and then attach that file to a reply here:
Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
Click the "Upload" icon () on the post composer toolbar:
The "Open" dialog will open.
Select the .txt file you saved from the "Open" dialog.
Click the "Open" button.
The dialog will close.
Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.
Alternatively, instead of using the "Upload" icon on the post composer toolbar as described in steps (5) - (7) above, you can simply drag and drop the .txt file onto the post composer field to attach it.
