I'm just starting out with the Uno32 board and I'm having a world of trouble. I wrote a simple bit of code to have two LEDs alternate in flashing and that compiles fine:

void setup() {
 pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(43, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
 digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
 digitalWrite(43, LOW);
 delay(500);
 digitalWrite(13, LOW);
 digitalWrite(43, HIGH);
 delay(500);
}

However, I get this error when I try to upload to the board:

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Mac OS X), Board: "chipKIT UNO32"

No target found. An error occurred while uploading the sketch

This happened on my Windows machine too. I read issues from years ago about pic32prog, but they claimed that the issue should've been fixed already. Please let me know if more information is required. I hope someone can help.

hadiknown,

OK, we'll do our best to help you out.

1. What version of chipKIT-core do you have installed in the IDE?

2. Can you see the serial port that the FTDI chip on the UNO32 creates? I.e. if you do "ls /etc/dev" before you plug in the UNO32 and then after, do you see a new TTY port? (I'm not a Mac guy, so I'm a little bit guessing here, but you get the idea.)

It does sound like you have the wrong (or no) port selected...

By the way, the path is /dev not /etc/dev ;)

device manager does identify the chipkit but won't upload

Is COM1 really your chipKIT board?

Yes, i checked it from the device manager to confirm this

Do you see the led L1 flash when the IDE tries to program the board? I.e., is the IDE successfully resetting the board to enter the bootloader?
