Please post the full error message; what you showed is not the full error message.

Did you edit the path to remove your Windows username?

Hi @alrogue23. Which version of Arduino IDE are you using (e.g., "2.0.1")? The version is shown on the window title bar and also in the Help > About dialog.

I ask for this information because I want to give you the appropriate instructions for the IDE version you are using.

2.0.3

Your username seems to be missing or replaced. There is a backtick in there.

I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

:exclamation: NOTE: These instructions will not solve the problem. They are only intended to gather more information which might provide a clue that eventually leads to a solution.

Please do this:

  1. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus.
  2. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: ☐ compilation".
  3. Click the OK button.
  4. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.
  5. Wait for the compilation to fail.
  6. You will see a "Compilation error: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window. Click the COPY ERROR MESSAGES button on that notification.
  7. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  8. Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    Code block
  9. Press Ctrl+V.
    This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
  10. Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
  11. Click the Reply button to post the output.

In case the output is longer than the forum software will allow to be added to a post, you can instead save it to a .txt file and then attach that file to a reply here:

  1. Open any text editor program.
  2. Paste the copied output into the text editor.
  3. Save the file in .txt format.
  4. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  5. Click the "Upload" icon (image) on the post composer toolbar:
    image
  6. Select the .txt file you saved.
  7. Click the Open button.
  8. Click the Reply button to publish the post.

Alternatively, instead of using the "Upload" icon on the post composer toolbar as described in steps (5) - (7) above, you can simply drag and drop the .txt file onto the post composer field to attach it.

@alrogue23 is your Windows user name "`" (the backtick character)?

14

alrogue or astroalrogue i will check this

Missing programmer
16 
on burn bootloader

@alrogue23 do you have an ISP programmer connected between your computer and the Arduino board?

Did you already fix the previous error?:

18

nothing between PC and Arduino...and no not fixed....basically no Arduino happening here...have ordered a new board...

19

Then you can't do a "Burn Bootloader". That operation requires an ISP programmer.

Then you are wasting your time messing with "Burn Bootloader". That could only help if there was a problem while uploading your sketch. The error you got is from compiling your sketch. It will occur even if you don't have the Arduino board plugged into your computer.

You need to focus on solving the compilation error.

Please answer the question I asked you yesterday:

It is always a good idea to have a spare board on hand, but it is not going to help at all with this particular problem. This is a problem with the software running on your computer. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Arduino board hardware.
