So I pasted the current blink code to a new file, tried to compile and
error message as follows :
Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328P (5V, 16 MHz)"
c:/program files (x86)/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/../lib/gcc/avr/4.9.2/../../../../avr/lib/avr5/crtatmega328p.o:(.init9+0x0): undefined reference to `main'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
exit status 1
Error compiling for board Arduino Pro or Pro Mini.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
when I get down the list to the /bin/.. etc on my sreen there a list of files but differentthan I have been used to viewing, not sure where after the bin file to go as it is listed as ..
thanks for your time
