upload/compiling problem

Whats wrong? I have the right board selected and the right com port.

Arduino: 1.8.4 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

It's caused by using the Arduino IDE with OneDrive. You need to install the hourly build from:

I downloaded it and am still getting the same problem. Am i supposed to do something after i download it?

Yes. You need to use it. The bug with OneDrive is fixed in the hourly build of the Arduino IDE. If you keep using Arduino IDE 1.8.4 then of course you're going to continue having the error.

Alright i know this is a stupid question but how do i do that?

  • Unzip the downloaded file. You will now have a folder named arduino-nightly.
  • You can move the arduino-nightly folder to any location you find convenient.
  • Run the program arduino.exe that you find inside the arduino-nightly folder. You might find it useful to create a shortcut of that program and put in in your Start menu or desktop.

Can I just move the Arduino file to a different location?

What "Arduino file" are you talking about?

Not sure how to answer that. The file you download from there website. The one you need to run everything.

How about with precision. You're not doing yourself any favors by being vague.

chris02:
The file you download from there website.

The file you download is a .zip file. It's not named "Arduino" it's named arduino-nightly-windows.zip.

There is no one file you need to run everything. There is a collection of files stored in a folder named arduino-nightly. Most of the files in that folder are necessary. Just trying to grab one file out of it will not work.

I don't understand why you want to make this so difficult. Just follow my instructions and you'll be able to get back to having fun with Arduino.

Woah umm... ok. WE were talking about two different things sorry I shouldve been more clear on what I meant. Im talking was talking about the Arduino file the first one you download.(ARDUINO 1.8.5)

You need to use the hourly build. That's the version of the Arduino IDE that has the Onedrive bug fixed.
