Error Help for Noobie

[mmmbraaains (Gary Meacher)]

Hey! Its been a bit since I’ve messed around with my Arduboy. I dusted it off and wanted to swap the game on it and I keep getting this error message (Im using a Mac and I know next to nothing about how this stuff works. Id be happy to just reset it or erase and start over). Any help is appreciated.

Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.

You’re trying to compile for Arduino Uno.
You need to be compiling for Arduino Leonardo.

Select Arduino Leonardo from Tools > Board

[mmmbraaains (Gary Meacher)]

Thank you. That seems to be progressing something. Now Im getting

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding

and a warning about storage space. Am I supposed to erase it before hitting upload on a new game?

[Pharap]

@mmmbraaains

Now Im getting

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding

Make sure your Arduboy is plugged in and turned on, then look at Tools > Port.
There should hopefully only be one option, and that is the option you need to select before uploading.

@mmmbraaains

and a warning about storage space

The compiler always reports the memory and progmem usage when compiling.
Unless the memory usage exceeds the maximum or is dangerously close to the maximum, there’s no problem.

@mmmbraaains

Am I supposed to erase it before hitting upload on a new game?

No. Uploading automatically overwrites whatever is already on the Arduboy.

[mmmbraaains (Gary Meacher)]

Sadly the issue is persisting. When I hit upload the arduboy clearly resets and does something. But the error still happens and the same game loads up.

Thanks for continuing to try and help me.

• Are you using an ‘official’ Arduboy or a homemade one?
• If you have an official Arduboy, is it an Arduboy FX?
• Have you tried using a different USB cable?
• Is that the only port in the port list or are there others?

[mmmbraaains (Gary Meacher)]

Yes, official Arduboy. Not FX.
I’ve tried all the ports on my Macbook Pro. The only thing consistently being used is a USB adaptor because my Macbook Pro only has USB-C ports. I’ve tried the included cable that came with the Arduboy and a different USB cable I have.
There are a few ports listed, but one of them says, Arduino Leonardo

[Mr.Blinky]

Sounds like the last game you’ve uploaded causes a Magic boot key issue that justs restarts your Arduboy instead of entering bootloader mode.

Checkout:

How To Use Flashlight Mode To Fix Bricked Arduboys

If you’re having a problem uploading a new game to your Arduboy, you may be encountering a bootloader issue. Some games use so much memory that your Arduboy’s bootloader cannot correctly enter into the mode needed to reprogram. Luckily, the Arduboy has a built-in function to prevent this from stopping you from installing another game. It’s called flashlight mode. To use flashlight mode to install another game: Turn off your Arduboy. Hold UP on the D-Pad. While still holding the D-Pad, turn on…

Searching for Magic boot key or bricked Arduboy may also be helpful.
