Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I'm not sure how to resolve this error any help would be appreciated
I've attached to code as well

that did the trick, thanks :slight_smile:

Unrelated to the error, but you're using a very outdated version of Arduino AVR Boards. I recommend you update to the most recent version:

  • Tools > Board > Boards Manager...
  • Wait for downloads to complete
  • Click on "Arduino AVR Boards"
  • Click "Update"
  • Wait for update to complete. (should be very fast because you already have the latest on your computer, it's just being overridden by the old version).
  • Click "Close".
