[solved]Cant Upload Sketch to new device

Hi - i cant upload the initial sketch on my TTN Node …

I am using Windows 10 and I can see the Node on COM3 - its there.

But i get the following error message … its new out of the box by the way so there should not be anything uploaded already … help would be appreciated . thanks in advance - RB

Sketch uses 6354 bytes (22%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 989 bytes (38%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1571 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2560 bytes.

Found programmer: Id = “þ”; type = ¸
Software Version = i.

you can try this

1- Turn on verbose upload in the Arduino IDE preferences
2- Plug in the TTN node, if it won’t show up as a COM/serial port that’s ok
3- Open up the Blink example (Examples->Basics->Blink)
4- Select the correct board in the Tools menu, e.g. sparkfun pro micro
5- Compile it (make sure that works)
6- Click Upload to attempt to upload the code
7- The IDE will print out a bunch of COM Ports as it tries to upload. During this time, double-click the reset button
8- The node will show up as the Bootloader COM/Serial port
9- The IDE should see the bootloader COM/Serial port and upload properly

and use search on this forum :wink:

Thanks - just pulling out batteries and usb power for 15 seconds - then power in + verbose did the job - worked perfectly - maybe that should be a default setting in Arduino Device Controller ???

regards RB
