ARDUINO UNO R4 MINIMA

Post by Carlton195 »

Can I please have the instructions on how to activate bootloader mode on my ARDUINO UNO R4 MINIMA. I think this is why I keep getting the "exit status 74" error in Arduino IDE.

Hi - please see our Arduino troubleshooting guide: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ting-guide. There are other steps you can take if you encounter the exit status 74 error - try double-pressing the reset button after you encounter the error, then try uploading your program again.

Question About Ultrasonic Levitator Project

Post by Carlton195 »

I followed all of step 1, but when it came to step 2: Download the ultrasonic_levitator_digitalWrite.ino example code, I downloaded it and attempted to upload what was there (on the Audio IDE app) but it said, "Upload error: Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 74". I've tried over and over. How do I get rid of error 74 in Audino IDE? I am using the Audino UNO R4 MINIMA which was linked on the ultrasonic levitator project page from the Science Buddies website. Please help, thank you.

Hi - since it looks like you posted twice, I want to make sure you saw my previous reply with a link to our Arduino troubleshooting page. Please let us know if you have tried any of the steps there, including double-pressing the reset button on the Arduino board.
