Error when uploading

matthewgri · August 28, 2024, 9:56pm

The project I'm doing is controlling a dc motor with a joystick. It worked this morning but no matter how many times I shut down / restart my chromebook it doesn't run. My Chromebook runs on chrome os and there is a Linux upgrade available but I haven't done it because I don't think it affects the project (the upgrade has been available for weeks).

I have another problem about my DC motor not staying on that long but it is less important. If anyone is able to solve that problem I can provide details.

Here is the error code:

Hi @matthewgri. Please add a reply here on this forum thread to tell us which Arduino board you are using.

Please be as specific as possible as some Arduino boards with similar names have significant differences and the forum helpers can only provide effective assistance if we are aware of which one is being used.

If you aren't sure how to describe which board you are using, you can provide the link to the online product listing you bought the board from and we'll proceed based on the information found there.

matthewgri · August 28, 2024, 10:31pm

It had said on the first line of code, ATmega2560

ptillisch · August 28, 2024, 10:42pm

That only tells me which board you have selected in Arduino IDE. It doesn't tell me which hardware you actually have. One of the common causes of this error is having a different board selected in Arduino IDE than the hardware you are attempting to upload to.

Going forward, please just answer the questions and drop the attitude. This will go much more quickly and be more pleasant for both of us if you do that.

So even though you didn't really answer the question, I'll proceed on the assumption that you actually do have an Arduino Mega 2560 board.

I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from an upload attempt.

This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Please do this:

Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "Preferences" dialog will open.
Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compile in the "Preferences" dialog.
Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
Click the "OK" button.
The "Preferences" dialog will close.
Attempt an upload, as you did before.
Wait for the upload to fail.
You will see an "Upload 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 error output from the upload into the code block.
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.

matthewgri · August 28, 2024, 10:47pm

I'm not trying to be rude but I've already done all of that, the code is posted in the first message.

@matthewgri
Below is part of the output that you cited in your last message:

The text proves that at least one of verbose output checkbox still not checked.

@b707, @ptillisch had asked me to check the upload box not the compilation. I believe it's a problem with uploading, not compilation but here are the error code messages for compilation and uploading process:

I see, thanks.
Could you show a screenshot of the IDE menu with board settings?

matthewgri · August 29, 2024, 11:37pm

@b707 here -

ptillisch · August 30, 2024, 9:14am

Yeah. I specified to do that just because having the verbose compilation preference enabled causes a lot of extra output. That extra output is useful when we are troubleshooting a problem with the compilation process, but in this case the compilation is successful so all is well there and we only need to look at the upload process.

But having the verbose compilation preference enabled doesn't do any real harm so it's also fine if you have it enabled.

b707:

the output that you cited in your last message:
matthewgri:
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

This is caused by a bug in Arduino IDE 1.x:

github.com/arduino/Arduino

"Copy error messages" adds incorrect advice regarding verbose output after failed upload

opened 09:12AM - 13 Apr 17 UTC

per1234

Type: Bug

Arduino IDE 1.8.3 Hourly Build 2017/04/11 01:33 with Windows 7 64 bit 1. Caus…e a successful compilation but failed upload. 2. Click the "Copy error messages" button 3. Paste the clipboard contents somewhere. You will see that the message: ``` This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during compilation" option enabled in File -> Preferences. ``` was added to the end of the console output. This is wrong because compilation was successful so that will provide no useful information. In fact it is harmful because it will add a lot of irrelevant information to the output which may prevent the user from being able to post the full text directly in a message on the forum or make it more difficult for us to read through the output. After a failed upload with verbose output turned off it should say: ``` This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during upload" option enabled in File -> Preferences. ```

That message should only be added if the compilation failed.
