Firmware Update

[AlexHedley]

When in Arduino should the Board be Arduino Nano Every?

What should the baud rate be (9600)?

Is there a setup guide with the steps to do once you've put the device together?

Getting started with Arduino
https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v2/tutorials/getting-started-ide-v2/

• https://www.arduino.cc/en/software - choose the version for MAC or Windows, just download and install.
• Open Arduino IDE
• Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries
• In Library Manager type "FlipDisc.h" - install library
• Open https://github.com/marcinsaj/Flipo-Clock-4x7-Segment-Flip-Disc-Display/blob/main/examples/01-Basic-Test.ino - copy code
• File -> New Sketch - delete sample code and paste code from point 4 in this file.
• Tools -> Board -> Arduino megaAVR Boards -> Arduino Nano Every
• Tools -> Port -> set Arduino Nano Every port
• Turn OFF the clock
• Connect clock via USB
• Sketch -> Upload
• Wait (even 60 seconds) until you see on bottom right "Upload completed"
• Disconnect USB cable
• Turn ON the clock

Let me know if you need any more help.

Have you come across this error before?

         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override

if you have a multimeter, I suggest checking that the display connectors are properly soldered and there are no short circuits before connecting the power supply.

@AlexHedley check that you have selected the correct COM port.

@AlexHedley
I assume you have the latest Arduino IDE.
Remove the Arduino board from the controller.
Try upload Blink sketch. If it works, try uploading the clock code until it works.
Check if the USB cable is OK and try with another one.
