Hello,
When i hover the right arrow 'upload button' the ide writes 'upload using programmer'
What is meant by that? I simply want to upload via the usb with the standard arduino boot
Many thanks for your time
Guy
well, in the topbar hit the "extra" button, and view the programmer settings, you are using a programmer when you upload your sketch to your arduino. even when hooking up an arduino board with an USB cable. the hardware and software requires a programmer. (sort of like a bridge between two diffrent universes? jk.)
uhm im no expert at this, but for example an arduino UNO has an usb FTDI chip wich handles the states of the AVR chip and to be able to upload the sketch to of the "arduino" (avr) chip, and auto reset at certian points.. (and more)
not a very clear explanation, but basicly that promp is nothing to worry about. just hook the USB cable to arduino, look what programmer configuration in de IDE is needed by your board, and give it run! UPLOAD

Save your sketch, close you IDE and restart it.
Try again.
Version 1.06 just says Upload when you hover over the right arrow.
but for example an arduino UNO has an usb FTDI chip
No, it has an Atmega16u2 programmed to perform the USB/Serial function.
I think only the Nano still uses the FTDI chip among the current Arduinos.
Upload Using Programmer requires one to have a Programmer connected to the ICSP header for direct access to memory for installing the a bootloader, or a sketch with no bootloader.
Hello again
Curiously this message stopped today
Thanks all for bothering to answer

No, it has an Atmega16u2 programmed to perform the USB/Serial function.
I see, my bad. So stupid of me to say FTDI without proper confirmation. i was so sure i knew what chip, but i got it all messed up with something else. again, sorry.
No problem; just trying to keep the information accurate.
