Hi Having an issue trying to compile my code to the board.
Was able to check the code before uploading and did not get any errors, connected the board, have correct board selected correct port selected, think I have the correct programmer (have tries several others, have the correct library selected (i think).
but keep getting the compling error----- but with no other text eg stage 1 or any other info as ive seen in other posts.

Please enable verbose output during compilation in file/preferences. Compile you sketch, click the "Copy error messages" button and paste the output in a new reply; please use code tags when posting the error output.
Depending on the error, it might be useful to see the sketch. So I suggest that you also post your sketch (using code tags) so we don't have to ask for it later ![]()
Also NEVER EVER post images of your code, it wastes space space and shows you have not read this How to get the best out of this forum a must read text to find out how to do things here.

Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.
I can not confirm your issue.
The code compiles for me with IDE version 1.8.19 and board package 1.8.6.
You may want to update what you are using and try again.
I downloaded the library TM1637Display.h from
https://github.com/avishorp/TM1637
Thanks for that, looks like my permissions on this particular computer are the issue as I unable to download that library in to the required folder. Ill try it on another laptop later.
