I have a Wemos D1 mini clone board that, despite selecting D1 Mini lite, R2 & mini, or Pro, refuses to be recognized by the Chromebook-based Cloud Editor. When plugged into the laptop, the Chromebook asked if it should be seen by Linux or Android; I selected Android, and the device is receiving power as confirmed by the reset button. Am I selecting the wrong device type under Compatible Device set-up, or is this board not supported by the Cloud Editor?
Hi @circuitcat.
Arduino Cloud Editor only supports uploading to the following list of boards (as well as 3rd party compatibles and derivatives of the boards on that list) from ChromeOS machines:
The board is not one of the boards with upload support. If you want to upload to this board using Arduino Cloud, you would need to use a Linux, macOS, or Windows machine instead of ChromeOS.
An alternative would be to get one of the supported boards. You can support the work Arduino does to provide free open source software, documentation, and hardware designs to the community by purchasing official hardware. It is available from these sources:
"Verify Only" support is provided for many additional boards, including the Wemos D1 Mini. When you have one of those boards selected, you can still use Cloud Editor to develop sketches, and compile the sketches for the selected board. Unfortunately, due to the unique technical challenges imposed by the ChromeOS environment, we have not been able to provide upload support for those boards so the "Upload" button is disabled when one of the "Verify Only" boards is selected.
