Back in the Wii homebrew days Team Twiizers posted some trouble shooting flow charts that were a handy point of reference for various types of “Bricks” after seeing a few posts today with various uploading issues and whatnot I was wondering if it would be any help to have something similar for common issues users encounter.
It might be necessary to have more than one chart (Windows, Mac, Linux) since each has their own problems and putting it all together might result in one big scary mess.
Linux does not require the Arduino IDE but the user might not have permission to access the serial port and needs to be added to the dialout group
Mac does not require the Arduino IDE, I think
To single out problems with the user’s computer, it might be useful to direct them to obono’s Android app
