I have the Arduino UNO. I installed the blink program and changed the blink to 500ms with no problem.
I then tried to install a program called calibration underAnalog. I got an error. I then retried to compile the blink program with 250ms instead of 500ms just to make sure I could, but I also got the same error. I copied it and attached it below. It can't find the file it says. Also, do I need to erase the old program before uploading a new one? Thanks.
