Can't upload FLORA?!

Post by PatZ »

Hi!

I tried many times to upload my FLORA to my Mac Pro but I failed. I have installed the Arduino IDE and have finished programming. I tried to press the RESET button several times but the chip still failed to connect to my computer.

Please help!!!

Thanks a lot!

Please try some different USB cables and a different USB port? Also try connecting through a self-powered hub if you have one.

When you press the Reset button, what does the red LED do? Does it pulse for 10 seconds or so?

What error are you getting from Arduino? can you post the output from the IDE?

Thank you very much for your reply!

When I press the RESET button, the red LED will slowly flash for 10 seconds, and then the yellow LED on the left with "RX" on it will flash once before the red LED stops flashing.

When I press VERIFY or UPLOAD on the Arduino IDE, the bar bellow will show: "Error compelling. sketch_jun01a. ino:1:31: fatal error: Adafruit_NeoPixel. h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Error compelling. "
Thank you!

That error means the compiler can't find the library that makes NeoPixels work.

Have you downloaded that from Github and installed it in the sketchbook/libraries folder?

The NeoPixel library is here:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel

Here is a tutorial on libraries and how to install them:

Thank you very much!

I have already installed the library. However, my FLORA still cannot be uploaded to my Mac, and the IDE shows this:

Arduino: 1.6.4 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Sketch uses 2,564 bytes (7%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 38 bytes (1%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,010 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "COM1": No such file or directory
ioctl("TIOCMGET"): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.


Please help. Thanks a lot!

Also, the LEDs on the chip still flash in the same manner.

Thank you!

You have to select 'Adafruit FLORA' as the board type.
If you haven't done so already, add the FLORA to the IDE list of board types by following this tutorial:

Thank you so much for the suggestion!

However, I can't find the setting page on my Mac to make the changes you have shown me. Is it from the app or the file or something?

Thanks again!
