Error rebooting when trying to upload code

Post by martinresi »

Hi,

I'm getting this error trying to upload code. The code is pretty much the same as last time, just changing the autofeeder times. I haven't uploaded new code in about 6 months. Everything's been working fine I just wanted to make a small change and upload the changed code. I'm not getting any compiling errors, just connection errors. I haven't updated anything since my last successful upload

Any advice is appreciated. Code is below. Thanks,
Todd

It worked. I kept restarting the arduino app and unplugging and replugging in the usb cable to the controller and eventually it uploaded. I think I remember something like this happening before. Am I missing some kind of step when i upload new code?

1. Unplug the existing color coded usb cable from the LCD RA controller.
2. Plug in the color coded usb cable that connects to the laptop into the LCD RA controller
3. Start Arduino and bring up the code
4. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the laptop
5. Upload code

Your COM port may be changing. I'd plug the cable into the laptop and then check the COM port before I fired up Arduino.
