Post #1378306

#arduino on #linux I gave up on getting to get Arduino's IDE to function. Luckily I had the arduino-cli tool installed. Queue, a couple hours learning it's workflow. An hour was spent testing my readily handy Arduino Unos as I had done one program and it didn't seem to do anything. arduino-cli upload ... even the basic blink didn't produce any results. The device still powered on, the BUILTIN_LED blinks 3X as part of the startup routine, do it still works. Again tried a different device, same results. Wrote a simple Serial.write(...) program to try to get a non-led output without digging into my components. Even that had no results. Check all the udev rules, all good. ... Let's write an obviously wrong script. Like, should not compile at all. It still uploaded without issue? Ok, let's just compile. Fails. Ok good, that's expected. Let's just compile the blink script. Success. Let's upload. Device goes: 💡: oh, the upload step doesn't do a compile first. /head-desk
