Mac install usb connectivity issue

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

I have tried everything i found online.
I know the Arduino is talking to the usb to the IDE because the Serial monitor is displaying data from a currently install sketch.
my port is set to the correct board
BN: Arduino Uno WiFi Rev2
VID: 03eb
PID: 2145
SN: F5EC5BFAFED68A7023BF
and i can see the port usb listed and it is selected..
MAC OS 12.4 (21F79)

but when i try to load even a empty sketch i get a communication error.
Im not sure what i am doing wrong would appriciate any help

        Problem uploading to board.  See https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/sections/360003198300 for suggestions.

Do you have another arduino you can try the cable with?

Does your board have jumpers that need to be set in a certain way for upload? If so are they set correctly?

Can you try this:

  • go to the preferences of the IDE and set verbose mode for compilation and upload. Validate.
  • Open a blank sketch
  • hold down the reset button of your arduino
  • click on the button to compile and upload in the IDE
  • when you see in the compilation monitor (under the sketch’s code) that it’s attempting to upload, let go the reset button.

➜ what do you see?

is your user a standard user or an Admin?
do you have another arduino you can test with (to validate that the cable is OK and that the installation is OK)

i first was trying to use the non admin user months ago.
did not work.
so i started using the admin then had it working on this admin with this black usb cable i tried a arduino mega as well and 2 other cables its not hardware related.

So it worked with the mega?

Did you install the files for the arduino wifi under a different user / user rights ?

Probably worth removing everything and installing from scratch under this admin user

It seems the compilation goes fine but the upload to /dev/cu.usbmodem14102 fails.
The code seems large (as you get a warning Low memory available, stability problems may occur) .

I don’t have that board (it seems it did not get much traction, most of us went to ESP32 or MKR WiFI family if WiFi was needed rather than this weird combination) so I’m unfamiliar with its boot loader sequence

Can you try with a blank sketch and nothing plugged into the board a few times keeping the reset button pressed until the upload is starting. Try also double clicking on the reset button at that time.

If that does not work I would still try the full uninstall including all the directories and run a proper install under the admin user you use.

It might also be that the Board is damaged (short circuit…)

the board it self was the problem

OK sorry to hear… thx for getting back with this info.
