We are recreating the majority of the project from this website http://robowarner.com/portfolio/radio-homing-robot-diy/. We have connected the arduino uno to a mac computer. I understand the code is for a arduino micro but I dont think that is the issue. See code below.

//Code written by Warner K. of www.robowarner.com

//You are free to modify, distribute and store this code.

//USE THIS CODE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
//I am NOT liable for any harm that results from the use of this code.

// Code is based off of the original BASIC for the robot, so it has room for improvement.

//Defines (Constants)
#define buffering 25 //what counts as straight ahead? If too small, the robot will jitter. If too large the robot will drive away from the transmitter
//pinout

uint16_t voltage = 0;

Correct. This issue has nothing to do with the code.

Remove any connections to pins 0 and 1. These pins are used for communication with your computer, including uploads. Connecting anything to these pins can interfere with uploads.

If you don't have one with that nifty plastic base, make sure the Uno is not sitting on any conductive materials that might be shorting contacts on the bottom of the board.

Make sure you have selected the port of your Arduino board from the Tools > Port menu.

Sometimes the port will be labeled with the board name in the menu. Other times it will not. If you don’t know which port is your Arduino, you can find it like this:

Unplug your Arduino board from the computer.
Tools > Port
Note the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
Close the Tools menu
Plug your Arduino board into the computer.
Tools > Port - The new port listed in the menu is your Arduino board.
