Uploading Sketches from an Arduino UNO to a computer

Projects Programming

A while ago, I installed a sketch on a Arduino UNO. My problem is the computer that held the sketch died. Is there a way to retrieve the sketch from the board.

Thanks,

You can retrieve the compiled binary file that was created from the sketch from the Uno, but you cannot retrieve the sketch.

Practically, the only use you will have for the compiled binary is to be able to upload the exact same program to other Unos.

What happened to the computer to cause it to "die"? If it was something other than hard drive failure, then your original sketch should still be on the hard drive, and can easily be retrieved.

Unfortunately, it was a hard drive crash. Thanks for responding.
