IDE uploads new code but no changes are actually made

parkwaysnows · February 10, 2024, 6:26am

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help.

I have a Pro Micro board that is connected to toggle switches, a switch input will output a keystroke.
I am running the latest IDE on Mac, also with latest OS.

My sketch is working as expected without any problems, however, now I want to change the outputs to different keystrokes

If I modify the sketch Keyboard.write("x"); to another character, and then reload the sketch, the sketch does not change the characters. it remains as it was.

There is no sign of an error or anything untoward.

I can change sketches to something completely different but if I try to simply modify the sketch nothing happens.

Any suggestions??

Yes,........ first read the forum requirements.
Then post both you code (in code brackets) and a circuit diagram...NOT fritzing

adjusting the Arduino-IDE in this way to get ALL detail-info of your compiling process

then posting the complete compiler- and upload log as a code-section

Adding these lines of code to your setup()-function

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200); // or what your baudrate is
  Serial.println("Setup-Start");
  Serial.println( F("Code running comes from file ") );
  Serial.println( F(__FILE__) );
  Serial.print( F("  compiled ") );
  Serial.print( F(__DATE__) );
  Serial.print( F(" ") );
  Serial.println( F(__TIME__) );

This prints the filename the date and time of that code-version that is really inside the flash-memory to the serial monitor

best regards Stefan

I am sorry I haven't followed the forum protocol.

Please see the Code, apologies for not having this setup as an Array, I still can't figure out how to make them work as an array.

This code works for one side of my application so I don't have a great need to make it more concise.

The only reason I am here now is that I have another pro micro that I want to use for a similar application (helicopter sim parts) that need to use different output characters.

parkwaysnows · February 10, 2024, 7:23am

StefanL38:

Serial.begin(115200); // or what your baudrate is
  Serial.println("Setup-Start");
  Serial.println( F("Code running comes from file ") );
  Serial.println( F(__FILE__) );
  Serial.print( F("  compiled ") );
  Serial.print( F(__DATE__) );
  Serial.print( F(" ") );
  Serial.println( F(__TIME__) );

That last piece of code you sent was added and it made an initial difference, the output changed as expected, but same issue again once it uploaded, I tried to modify the output again and it stayed the same?

StefanL38 · February 10, 2024, 7:27am

I repeat myself:

If you want decent help you will have to provide decent and DETAILED information

parkwaysnows · February 10, 2024, 7:29am

I'm sorry Stefan I'm trying to get the info but I do not get an error message to copy??

parkwaysnows · February 10, 2024, 7:30am

IDE is not throwing an error message, the code (it appears) is uploading as normal.??...

StefanL38 · February 10, 2024, 7:30am

You can click into the lower part of the Arduino-IDE where all the message runs through while the compiler works

Then press mark all copy and then paste as a code-section

parkwaysnows · February 10, 2024, 7:32am

Yep got it, I had serial monitor running. ok info coming....

I wanted to give you some context to what I'm making, the switch box holds one pro micro, the display panel will take another. hence the two different output keystroke requirements.

I really appreciate all your help!! Coding is very new to me, as is everything else I'm learning here to make this project work!

cool project seems to be a real detailed flight simulator

How should anybody analyse what is going on with such poor words as "same issue"???!

Your sketch has the filename "B206_MIP.ino"

Save the sketch with "safe as ...." with a different filename.
Compile and upload again.
If the serial monitor shows the new filename you really know uploading works.

If you see the new and different filename but the codes behaviour is still not what you expect the problem is inside your code.

You will have to deliver even more detailed information

Your actual sketch
a detailed description what does it mean in detail

but same issue again: what exact issue??

once it uploaded: post the exact uploaded and complete sketch

I tried to modify the output again: did you upload your code new AFTER modifying it?
if yes post this complete modified sketch

and it stayed the same: WHAT exactly stayed the same?

the code ?
the serial printing of date and time ?
the printed character?

You will have to describe it in this detailed way:

I uploaded this code-version (post as a code-section (posting the complete sketch)
and got this output in the serial monitor (posting serial output as a code-section too
and when I press button "name of button" the HID-output is: writing the letter that is outputted

Then I modify the code (post modified complete sketch)
add a comment to that line of code that you modified "something like "modified from ... to ....

I uploaded this modified code-version
and got this output in the serial monitor (posting output as a code-section
and when I press button "name of button" the HID-output is: writing the letter that is outputted

name everything EXPLICITLY. generalising words like "same" "issue" etc. don't help. They waste time through asking back

best regards Stefan

Stefan, thank you.

Apologies, I had thought I was being clear and concise but you are quite correct, it is very ambiguous on reflection.

I have just modified my sketch from Keyboard.write("x"); with double quotation marks to single quotation marks (code attached below)
I added your code

Serial.begin(115200); // or what your baudrate is
  Serial.println("Setup-Start");
  Serial.println( F("Code running comes from file ") );
  Serial.println( F(__FILE__) );
  Serial.print( F("  compiled ") );
  Serial.print( F(__DATE__) );
  Serial.print( F(" ") );
  Serial.println( F(__TIME__) );

This version of code has now appeared to have fixed my issue!!??!!

I really appreciate your patience!!

Thank you!!
Colin

You did not answer as requested.
If it works everything is fine.

To determine if changing from double-quotation-mark to single quotation-mark
or adding printing the code-version made it work

to be as short as you: just test

parkwaysnows · February 10, 2024, 8:32am

I am truly sorry, I just didn't want to waste any more of your time, as you said it works, so I don't want to continue to bother you with it.

Thank you!

StefanL38 · February 10, 2024, 8:36am

The only thing that wastes time is posting too short so others have to ask back.

If you post 50 lines of text well formatted paragraphes with titles everybody can crossread over the titles to find that part of information that is interesting. And then no time is wasted by asking back.

Just do it this way with your next question.

parkwaysnows · February 10, 2024, 8:48am

Thanks, I will!
