Why does this say "Compressed"?
C:\Users\Rotimi\Downloads\Compressed\flora102win\flora-1.0.2\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-ar: unable to rename
Your arduino install has some kind of problem. Why don't you try getting a new copy from here:

Yes I am still getting errors:

Well, it can't find your Flora. Do you have Flora selected as the board type? Are you sure you have the right com port selected?

Does the Flora appear in Device Manager?

I selected the flora, then after I did the COM ports menu became inactive, so I couldn't select COM port again

It's looking on COM16. Is that the correct port? Can you check Device Manager and see what COM port the Flora shows up as?

I discovered the port to be COM17. I changed the port under Tools. But the upload is taking forever,(over 30 minutes) without completing. I've stopped and tried again and again. on the third attempt, it returned an error that avr.a could not be rewritten. I am trying the 4th attempt now and I've attached the screenshots. What could be the issue? could it be windows 8?

Your IDE may be corrupt. You shouldn't be using 1.0.2 anyway. Download a new version:

Thanks. I've downloaded the new one. But upon istalling requisite libraries, i got an error about duplicate libraries.When i uninstalled them, i got an error about missing libraries.

Anyway, I tried uploading, but as soon as i clicked upload, the flora automatically disconnected. is this normal? I still got an error and an advice to click the reset button after clicking uplaod. NOw I dont even know if it finished uploading.

Here is the log and a screenshot.

Go into the Preferences menu and select verbose on upload. Then quit and restart the IDE. That will give you an idea of what's going on with the upload.

Thanks. I got a more detailed error this time. I pressed the reset button and it momentarily showed "connecting to programmer". see error below:

I tried again, with the reset button pressed. I got this error:

"Connecting to programmer: .avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding"

Is there any other switch that could be active or could the flora be defective

I've never seen problems like this. We could try replacing the Flora.
Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement.

Hello everyone. I got my adafruit flora replacement and uploaded the sketch. Then I soldered all the components, but there seems not to be any power flowing into the system from the battery section. I just got a multimeter, and I want to test the individual components separately before putting them together. How can I test the flora part without the wireless components?
