Hello,
I am Windows savy but new to Linux/Xubuntu and Arduino/Sparky. I have installed Xubuntu 20.4 on an old Dell Inspiron 1501 with AMD processor. Downloaded the latest Arduino (1.8.13) with the hope of uploading programs to Sparki which we got the kids for Christmas. Unfortunately . . . I cannot upload through Arduino or manually (holding reset and then releasing when uploading appears). I do seem to be communicating through the port with Sparki as it seems to reset and start moving. BUUUUT . . . the example application I’m trying to upload involves no movement (example RGB, LCD Circles, etc). I get the error message noted below. I would like to get this up and running ASAP so the kids don’t become frustrated and lose interest. I would hate to have Sparki become a $150 door stop!
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Tom
