![]() ![]() I loaded it up in the Arduino IDE (Arduino 1.6.7) and hit “upload.” The IDE whirred and then spit out this unfortunate bit of sadness:įor the sake of people Googling (or heaven forbid, Binging) this error because they’re getting it themselves, here is the text in all its glory: It’s a simple sketch that simply blinks the LED on the LinkIt One. The first sketch the documentation told me to upload was Blink. ![]() I thought I was well on my way to being the next Nikola Tesla, until I couldn’t upload my very first sketch. The USB to Serial adapter drivers loaded correctly and I was able to connect the Arduino IDE to the COM ports that the LinkIt One was using. The driver installation was a little different, but it was close enough. The documentation pointed me to this “ Getting Started” link and it mostly worked. Installing the drivers and programming environment for the LinkIt One board was a little clumsier than that. Being a Microsoft guy, I’m used to clicking Next a lot to install things. When I unwrapped the LinkIt One I hastily ripped apart the box and started hooking things up. In true tech blogger fashion, I decided to share my defeat, and triumphant comeback with the world. The experience has been a lot of fun, but I did stumble onto one issue that kicked my butt for a while. I haven’t messed with anything like this since I was about 12 with an old Radio Shack 200-in-1 kit, but I was very excited. This board is a like an Arduino board, but has wireless capabilities built in. For Christmas I was a good little boy and I got a gift I was really looking forward to, a LinkIt One board. ![]()
