Can't get S4A to find my arduino

[Jane Waite]

Hello I hope someone can help me.

I have sucessfully (phew that was not easy) downloaded and configured the arduino so that my PC can see it.

I have sucessfully (phew that was easy) downloaded the S4A software to my PC

I think I have then managed to download the S4AFirmware15.ino to the arduino sketch folder and I think I have uploaded it to the board!! 

HOW CAN I TELL???

On S4A it now says Arduino 1 Searching board ..... - so maybe scratch cannot see the board.

I am just trying to get digital 13 to light up for ever!

Any help would be great.

I am not very technical.

Cheers

Jane

Hi Jane and Zoonaid,

Please ensure that you upload correctly the S4AFirmware15.ino sketch file to the board with the Arduino IDE (you should see a "Done uploading" message). It is recommended to close S4A before doing this to avoid port access conflicts.

If you still have problems, please specify which OS and Arduino board are you using.

Best,

If you're using Windows, please check what COM port is assigned to the board. If it's above 32, the Scratch plugin that manages the serial port connection won't detect it.

In that case, try to change manually the COM port assigned. Please check this out: http://www.digi.com/support/kbase/kbaseresultdetl?id=3308

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
