Troubleshooting

Error connecting to board:

  • Tools/Board should be "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
  • Tools/Port should find and recognize the Arduino ex: dev/cu.usbmodem14511 (Arduino/Genuino Uno). If it doesn't find it, try restarting the IDE with the usb plugged in.

Program not working:

  • Make sure libraries files are up to date (particularly colors.h)
