Uploading difficulties on Arduino 2.3.4 windows

maestro47 · December 19, 2024, 1:40am

Hi everyone!
I am mostly new to Arduino so I apologise in advance if my dilemma does not seem problematic. I recently downloaded the Arduino IDE 2.3.4 on windows 11 using my school laptop (Acer Travelmate IP). However, when I go to upload my most recent sketch (eg. making an LED blink), the software takes to long to upload. My most recent sketch had me waiting for 45 minutes. Even now, I still haven't been able to upload my code. This is worrying sign. This sketch took up 924 bytes of the software's memory, an underwhelming thought when considering some of the more complex projects that have been made using Arduino. I have tried everything from rewriting the entire sketch to using different ports but noting has worked. Below, you will find some images regarding my issue. If you have any advice, please notify me. Thank you for consideration.

Hi @maestro47. I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from an upload.

This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Please do this:

Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "Preferences" dialog will open.
Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compile in the "Preferences" dialog.
Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
Click the "OK" button.
The "Preferences" dialog will close.
Attempt an upload, as you did before.
Wait for the upload to go into a hang state, as either indicated by no new text being printed to the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window, or by the same text being printed over and over again.
Right click on the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
A context menu will open.
Select Copy All from the menu.
Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.

Code block icon on toolbar390×118 4.25 KB
Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
This will paste the upload output into the code block.
Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

Looks like you only compiled the code (Verify in Arduino speak). Now you have to upload it. I don't use the IDE anymore but the upload button should be right beside the verify button.

Hi ptillisch,
This was my output after following your instructions. Thank you for the helpful advice.

maestro47 · December 19, 2024, 4:12am

Thank you van_der_decken,
Sorry about the misleading picture. I have tried to upload this sketch multiple times without any luck. I hope this clarifies my problem.

van_der_decken · December 19, 2024, 4:14am

Do you by chance have the serial monitor open? If so, close it and try again. If not, look for some other program that has that com port open.

maestro47 · December 19, 2024, 8:53am

Hi van_der_decken
I closed the monitor. When this didn't work, I tried the other com ports. Whenever I did this, the same error code appeared. Would you happento know what it means? Thank you.

Restart your computer and then try the upload again. In rare occasions, a glitch causes the port to get stuck open. This is one possible cause of the upload error. Restarting your computer restores the port to the normal working state and so fixes that particular cause of the error.

If the upload still fails after restarting your computer, add a reply here on this forum thread to let us know.

maestro47 · December 19, 2024, 11:17pm

Hi ptsillisch,
I restarted my laptop and tried uploading using multiple monitors. None of them worked. The error code was the same each time with a few hidden variables. Do you know what this means? Thanks again.

That's progress. You are able to communicate with the port now.

Since it's a Nano, you may have one with the old bootloader. Try switching to that and see if it's any better.

maestro47 · December 20, 2024, 10:07pm

Hi van_der_decken,
Apologies if I have failed to understand the advice you have given me ( I am still very new to Arduino) . Just to clarify, are you suggesting I burn my current bootloader in Tools Settings? Thanks again.

van_der_decken · December 20, 2024, 10:08pm

No, just select the old bootloader variant of the Nano.

maestro47 · December 20, 2024, 10:24pm

Dear van_der_decken

Good new's! The "LED blink" sequence is fully operational! However, the uploading issue still remains and I have a quite a bit error code in my output. Do you know what it means? Thank you.

That is the sign of a successful upload with verbose output enabled, nothing more. If you turn off Show verbose output during: ☐ upload much of that will go away.

maestro47 · December 20, 2024, 10:45pm

Hi van_der_decken
Thank you so much for helping me over these past few days. You have bee a big help. On one final sidenote, how do I stop my program. I tried unplugging and plugging in the USB as well as restarting the NANO, but that has not worked. Thanks again.

van_der_decken · December 20, 2024, 10:47pm

The uploaded sketch will run until you upload a different sketch over it.

maestro47 · December 20, 2024, 10:51pm

Thank you for all your help van_der_decken. I will close this chat now. Good luck with all your future endeavours.

van_der_decken · December 20, 2024, 10:53pm

And you give yourself the solution, and don't give a single like to anyone who's helped you along the way? Good luck getting help the next time you need it; I certainly won't be there to help you!
