cant get arduino to work Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

I recently decided to try to learn programming and electronics after losing my workshop/house to the CA fires. The problem is I can't get anything to upload on either my rpi or my win 10 pc. I've tried gemma m0 and circuit playground. no arduino code ever makes it onto the boards. hell i cant even get it to compile. I've messed with it so much trying to get it to work that I'm more lost than when i started.

The only code I've successfully loaded is a basic cap touch light change i wrote for flora months ago.


this is the demo example for cpb

/home/pi/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/9-2019q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-ar: error while loading shared libraries: libfl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Using library Wire at version 1.0 in folder: /home/pi/.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/nrf52/1.3.0/libraries/Wire

this is the touch penant for gemma m0

did you download adafruit avr board from the board manager.
Make sure you download the correct library if you are using library.

[adafruit_support_carter]

The Gemma M0 uses a SAMD21. The Circuit Playground Bluefruit uses a nRF52840. Both of these are ARM based microcontrollers. Not AVR.

But do make sure you have all the necessary Board Support Packages (BSP) installed.

See here for Gemma M0:

See here for CPB:

I have the correct libraries installed. Both the Adafruit and Arduino SAMD libraries and the Adafruit NRF52 library.

Let's focus on the Gemma M0 for now.

Are you getting those error messages when trying to upload the Blink example?
