Hi, im brand new to arduino and i just have a quick question. I just downloaded the software from the website and I tried the Blinking LED example but when I run it the error msg "reset the arduino board before u export" keeps on showing no matter how many times I reset the board.
It might be pretty simple but its driving me nuts. Could someone please help?
Hi, I have the same problem when I first started also.
Press the reset button that is on the Arduino board first then upload your program(Upload to I/O Board button), you should do this right after you press the reset button. If that doesn't work try pressing the program button first(Upload to I/O Board) then wait a few second, like 1 or 2 second, then press the reset button on the board.
Or you can go to this link and follow step 6 if the above methods does not work. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows
Thank you very much! it finally works!
