I'm getting an issue where my code will only work the first time I upload it. If I want to change my code (for example, change a delay from 5sec to 10sec) then I have to copy/paste my whole code to a new sketch. "Verifying and uploading" the code after I change something just throws an error such as the above one even if the code is correct.

5

That sounds very strange. Have you tried reinstalling the Arduino IDE?

6

Yes I have. Same problem. The board I'm using is from a previous project that I wasn't apart of. Any chance there are pins soldered together (or something similar) that would be causing this?

7

Then I would expect that it never works.

I would probably try to backup your work, remove the IDE, delete the arduino15 folder and install the IDE again. Maybe someone here has a brighter suggestion.

8

Did you destroy that directory as well after you uninstalled the IDE? Once that directory is gone, you can reinstall, else there might still be odd stuff hanging around.

9

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the IDE. Opened Blink, verified it (good) and uploaded it (threw error). Not sure why.

Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.

By pure chance, I ran into this page. The following tip reminded me of this thread.

If you get the message "Error compiling" (but no other error) when compiling (even the tutorial or example programs that come with the IDE), and you are running Windows, try getting the properties of the Arduino.exe program and setting "Compatibility mode" to "Windows XP".

This does not look correct

Using board 'uno' from platform in folder: C:\Users\h432570\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.5
Using core 'arduino' from platform in folder: C:\Users\h432570\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.5

When I compile blink I see

Using board 'uno' from platform in folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr
Using core 'arduino' from platform in folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr

I'm not clear why your avr core files for the Uno are in Arduino15. Maybe someone else will have an idea what has gone wrong.

13

If you update the AVR package, it will be placed in the AppData. That's one pissible reason that I'm aware of.

14

I have never updated the core without updating the IDE, and with an IDE update, the core seems to go in Program Files and not App Data.

15

I have never updated the IDE :smiley: Unless I do a fresh install.
