Unable To Upload Blink LED Code Onto Uno32 Board

Hello,

This is my first time posting!

I'm using the Uno32 board for the first time in 1.5 years. I'm having trouble uploading a simple blink LED example onto the board. I get the error below when I try to do so. I've checked that I'm using the correct port (COM3), I selected the "Arduino/Genuino Uno" board, and I believe I have updated all the correct drivers.

It's strange because I was able to do this just fine 1.5 years ago, and I'm using the same laptop that is running Windows 10.

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

You probably have a pin connected to RX/TX (digital pin 0 and 1).

If you remove those, upload the code and reconnect them it should work

Have you installed the boards package for that board (which is now retired)

It also uses an FTDI driver that you will want to install as FTDI is not installed by default any more.

Its in the Arduino install directory inside the subfolder "drivers"

@noelvissers I don't have pins connected to those ports

@ballscrewbob I'm not sure if I had the package installed. I followed the directions here under "Install the board drivers" just now. Side note: the name for the device in the Device Manager is "USB Serial Port (COM3)" and not "Arduino Uno..." as they have in the instructions.* Choosing the file they recommend crashes my computer (blue screen) running Windows 10.

  • I wonder if this is because I'm using my own USB Mini Type B cable and not the one that originally came with the board. Do you think this might be an issue, and if so where can I find a cable that works?

USB MINI or MICRO cable ?

In the case of MICRO cables there can be a difference as some are CHARGE only and not CHARGE + DATA.
Not seen that issue on MINI cables

The UNO32 is not an official ARDUINO board so you may well want to install an additional set of boards for that and maybe even drivers.

@ballscrewbob Looks like I was missing the right board in the IDE. Installing it through that link you sent worked! Thanks!
