I cant upload my code to the board

[zxcas]

im very new to this type of coding im trying to build a sonar with a uno r3 and when i tried to upload the code it keep saying "Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1" here the code im using

const int trig = 6;
const int echo = 7;
long totaltime;
int distance;
void setup() {
pinMode(trig, OUTPUT);
pinMode(echo, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(trig, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trig, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trig, LOW);
totaltime = pulseIn(echo, HIGH);
distance= totaltime*0.034/2;
Serial.print("Distance: ");
Serial.println(distance);
}
i been trying to fix this problem for 3 days now

Welcome to the forum

Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'

Use code tags (the < CODE/ > icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/how-to-get-the-best-out-of-this-forum

Please post your full sketch, using code tags when you do

Posting your code using code tags prevents parts of it being interpreted as HTML coding and makes it easier to copy for examination

In my experience the easiest way to tidy up the code and add the code tags is as follows

Start by tidying up your code by using Tools/Auto Format in the IDE to make it easier to read. Then use Edit/Copy for Forum and paste what was copied in a new reply. Code tags will have been added to the code to make it easy to read in the forum thus making it easier to provide help.

It is also helpful to post error messages in code tags as it makes it easier to scroll through them and copy them for examination

"Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1"

Is that the full error message ?

[zxcas]

the full error message is way longer
here the full one

Hi @zxcas. 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:

1. Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
   The "Preferences" dialog will open.
2. Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compile in the "Preferences" dialog.
3. Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
4. Click the "OK" button.
   The "Preferences" dialog will close.
5. Attempt an upload, as you did before.
6. Wait for the upload to fail.
7. 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.
8. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
9. 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.
   
   
10. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
    This will paste the error output from the upload into the code block.
11. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
12. Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

1. Did it work in the past?
2. Can you upload the blink example?
   • Can you upload the blink example if nothing is connected to the board (except USB).
3. What is the serial-to-usb converter on the board; it's the chip closest to the USB converter. Take a clear photo if not sure and post here.
4. What is the main processor on the board? Take a clear photo if not sure and post here.

Hi @zxcas!

How can you be sure your COM3 port is working and connected to the Arduino's download port?
