The Arduino UNO broken?

Hi,
I am testing a IR phototransistor as picture and code below, the UNO board got 3 red lights on in just a sudden and PC stay and nothing work, this is the second one, what can be wrong?
Thanks for help.
Adam

const int T1=0;
const int T2=1;
const int T3=2;
const int T4=3;

void setup(){
  
      Serial.begin(9600);
     Serial.println("xxx_setup!");
  Serial.print("File   : "), Serial.println(__FILE__);
  Serial.print("Date   : "), Serial.println(__DATE__);

 
}//end setup

void loop(){
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T1));
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T2));
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T3));
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T4));
  Serial.print("\n");
  delay(10);
}//end loop

avrdude done.  Thank you.



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



This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Hi,
I ran your code and it loaded fine on a Nano.
Can you upload the "Blink without delay" example?
I have formatted your code and edited the analog int variables.

const int T1 = A0;
const int T2 = A1;
const int T3 = A2;
const int T4 = A3;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("xxx_setup!");
  Serial.print("File   : "), Serial.println(__FILE__);
  Serial.print("Date   : "), Serial.println(__DATE__);
}//end setup

void loop()
{
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T1));
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T2));
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T3));
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(analogRead(T4));
  Serial.print("\n");
  delay(10);
}//end loop

Have you loaded code to that Nano before?
If not then try selecting old bootloader;

Tom... :grinning: :+1: :coffee: :australia:

That 47 ohm resistor is too low and may have damaged the UNO or at least pulled the power supply low .
Disconnect everything and try to upload the example blink program to see if you UNO is ok .

Turn of the PC & restart it, you should then get access!
