Hi!
I’m very new to this, so a very very basic question: I am trying to get the Blink scetch to work on an Arduino Nano.
I am following the Dronebot video in detail: Getting Started with PlatformIO - YouTube
I can compile and run the code with the Arduion IDE but when copying the code into Platform IO, it compiles, seems to upload, but no blink.
In Arduino IDE I set the board to ATmega328P (old bootloader) and in Platform IO to atmega328 (that comes up when I type arduino nano in the board chooser).
Any ideas what is wrong here? What am I missing?
Magnus
Please show full platformio.ini, code and output of the ‘Upload’ project task.
You also sure you that you have switched to the project you want if you’ve created multiple ones? (project environment switcher).
Hi!
Here’s the platform.ini code:
; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
; Build options: build flags, source filter
; Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
; Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
; Advanced options: extra scripting

; Please visit documentation for the other options and examples

avrdude done. Thank you.
As for switching: as I am totally new, I am not really sure what you mean. I have the code I want to upload in the window, and below that click the compile and upload icons. Did I miss something there?
Magnus
Ah… now it works. I found the Project Environment Switcher, however, upon chaning project environment, clikcing the “run” icon only brought up a chooser. So I closed the program and restarted, and now it works!
Thanks!

And what is the code?
And the file the code is in the src/main.cpp file of the project, yes? It can’t just be in a new unsaved file.
Also, you only need project environment switching if you have multiple projects open, aka. multiple workspace folders.
Here you can see in the upper left corner that I have a billion projects in my workspace, and to work on a specific project, I need to use the project environment switcher in the blue taskbar to select it (generic-lora-node). And of course the code I want to upload must be in a file in src/ of that project.
Thanks! Yes, src/main.cpp
It’s slowly getting clearer! Feels a bit steep learning curve, so thanks a lot for your help!!
