Oh dear and wonderful Gods and gurus of Arduino.
Please take pity on this poor traveller in a foreign land.
Ok so I wrote my sketch and tested it on my Uno, bread boarded it, prototyped it and got it to the church on time. So far so good.
I then purchased a couple of Nano boards (I need small for the finished item), I plug them in, change the board type in the tools and try to load the sketch, result? Naaah!
I believe the boot loader is installed and the boards are working ( red LED flashing ) but the computer does not seem to even recognise the board is there (plug in the Uno and it installs and lists it, unplug the Uno and hear the familiar Bing Bong). Plug in the Nano and Nixt, nuffink, not even a sausage!
Tried starting the Serial monitor and got “Board at com 5 not available”
When I try to upload a sketch (with the verbose option enabled) I get the FB below.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Kind regards,
Jeff
