that doesn't seem to be in the correct spot.

north dune
#

it isn't.

#

you define your config here:

image.png
keen surge
#

i was struggling to figure it out as there is extra things that aren't in my os

limpid pond
keen surge
#

at least it has to be above line 7 in their example

north dune
#

you need to change this back to CONFIG_FILE_TEST then put the config info in the correct spot

image.png
keen surge
#

at the top.

#

just realized there are several line 7

north dune
#

as an example.

keen surge
#

fair.

#

i don't have the test line in my os so i was trying to place where the actual error was at

limpid pond
#

hmmmmmmmmm

image.png
keen surge
#

what line is that error showing at?

north dune
#

you did change line 49 to what it was originally, correct?

limpid pond
north dune
#

drop mercenary.h into chat

Drag and drop, don't copy and paste.

you have an extra something or missing something.

#

we need to see how you are adding that font/bladestyle in.

north dune
#

missing a ,

keen surge
#

shit i didn't realize the compressed was cutting off lol

north dune
#

and it overflows once corrected.

limpid pond
#

like this right?

north dune
# limpid pond like this right?

yep, you'll also need to add
#define DISABLE_BASIC_PARSER_STYLES
to the top section, otherwise you'll get an overflow error.

limpid pond
north dune
#

yep, the top section:

ima check if it works rqqqqq

I assume you followed all the steps for the setup process?

limpid pond
#

I followed a video as it was easier

north dune
#

follow my link, most up to date. Go thorugh each step and verify.

limpid pond
#

I added the mercenary font to my sd card. Plugged in my proffie set up and the config thingy

limpid pond
limpid pond
north dune
#

even installed the DFU?

limpid pond
#

yea

north dune
#

do you have a 3rd party controller you use for gaming?

limpid pond
#

nope dont think so

north dune
#

you don't use a controller while gaming? That includes a flight stick or steering wheel accessory.

limpid pond
keen surge
#

i had those errors pop up too and i've never used one. they are sticky and stupid

limpid pond
#

the mouse IS wireless though

limpid pond
north dune
#

it's typically something like a driver getting in the way of opening the port to allow the board to be flashed.

limpid pond
#

Where do i check my drivers and stuff?

keen surge
#

there is a link in #1019929505776812032 iirc

limpid pond
#

dont see anything to do with Guillemot

image.png
#

maybe the config thing is too big?

#

idfk

north dune
#

no, it would give an overflow error.

#

you could try putting the board into bootloader first to see if that will work.

limpid pond
#

how do i do that?

north dune
#

hold boot and press reset.

#

and yes, you can do this with the USB still plugged in.

limpid pond
# north dune

i dont thing i have anything to trigger the contacts at allπŸ’”

north dune
#

they are press buttons.

limpid pond
#

ohhhhhh

#

dond

#

done*

north dune
#

with it in bootloader mode and plugged in (arduino will show it isn't connected) hit upload.

limpid pond
north dune
#

The arrow button is upload.

pure perch
#

It's not a config issue (unless some weird define is causing it) it looks more like an Arduino settings or install issue

limpid pond
pure perch
#

I haven't used Arduino in a long time so I'm not super familiar, just noting that the error isn't pointing to he config for a typo or something like that, it's other parts of the code run that are failing. Does the version of Arduino matter @north dune

limpid pond
#

im on ide 2.3.7

keen surge
#

unless that ito-wrapper is the error

#

nope. my verification comes back exactly the same

limpid pond
keen surge
#

like trav was saying. it seems like an arduino/communication error not a config

limpid pond
keen surge
#

i wish i knew what that 255 error was

#

one dude ran arduino in compatibility mode for win 8 and got rid of it

limpid pond
#

welp gotta try that then

#

ill tell ya what happens

#

still aint work at all

keen surge
#

maybe this is an uninstall the arduino plug in for proffie and reinstall it.

limpid pond
keen surge
limpid pond
#

Real

#

Gonna try it on linux

#

Might aswell see if it works

north dune
#

I'd say try ProffieConfig, but if it's something blocking drivers/ports it might still fail.

limpid pond
north dune
#

There's a link in the video description.

limpid pond
north dune
#

figured as much, something on your PC is blocking things.

limpid pond
north dune
#

any kind of malware protections and port lockers is all that comes to mind.

limpid pond
north dune
#

I dunno, I did say ProffieConfig might not work if you are having issues with a properly set up arduino INO. Best wait for some instruction on your crucible post. Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

limpid pond
#

still the same issue

limpid pond
#

ill do that later

#

unknown upload error now

#

i mean that is a bit better

limpid pond
#

new thing

carmine edge
#

have you tried a different version of arduino?

limpid pond
#

my board IS in dfu mode so idk why

carmine edge
#

you're on the admin user?

limpid pond
#

verifying works

limpid pond
#

ill try that

carmine edge
#

i only ask cause it's looking for stuff on the admin user

#

was that where it was installed?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

wait, it's in a zip file?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

that might be your problem

#

unzip it and run the installer

limpid pond
#

im using it like this

image.png
#

it is unzipped

carmine edge
#

is the folder one level up a zip file though?

limpid pond
#

i could try the installer if you want

carmine edge
#

i think it's worth a try to use the installer

#

could be a problem with the portable version

#

you could also try the 2.x up to date version unless you have a reason to use the legacy version

limpid pond
#

only does it when uploading it

carmine edge
#

were you also using a portable version or the installed version?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

was 1.8 still giving you error 255?

limpid pond
north dune
#

follow the directions to show verbose output

limpid pond
#

ill see what verbose does

north dune
#

I would try downloading and unzipping a fresh copy of the OS and adding in the config to the proper folder and setting it in the INO, just to rule out an issue with the current one. Tips: make sure you are unzipping everything into a folder on your PC and not the SD card.

https://fredrik.hubbe.net/lightsaber/proffieos.html

carmine edge
#

was this error message on the installed 2.x version or the 1.8 portable version?

#

oops it didn't reply, hang on

carmine edge
#

so when i use verbose and verify a config, it looks for arduino stuff on my user and not the admin. i'm not sure if that's because you're using a portable version or not, but if it's looking for stuff in the admin user files and you don't have permissions, it could explain returning errors

keen surge
#

Also have to make sure the folder in a local one not a cloud one. That's been an issue for many.

limpid pond
#

should i download arduino for all users or just admin?

carmine edge
#

all

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

do the set up for arduino again and see if it will compile

limpid pond
#

still getting the same thing

#

odd

carmine edge
#

post your verbose output again?

limpid pond
#

uninstalled arduino before doing the reinstall thbing just to be sure

carmine edge
#

and that's when you hit upload right? does it do the same thing if you hit verify?

limpid pond
#

also disappears from the port section when uploading

carmine edge
#

have you done anything with the board and the serial monitor?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

but it did see and talk to the board?

limpid pond
#

also tried doing the boot and reset thing

limpid pond
#

but it appears here

image.png
carmine edge
#

i assume you ran the driver installer?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

hm, lemme google for a few minutes, see if i see anything

limpid pond
#

aight

carmine edge
#

you are on proffie 2.2, right?

limpid pond
#

yup

carmine edge
#

k just checking

#

did you use the one click installer or zadig?

limpid pond
#

one click installer

#

ill try zadig if you want

keen surge
#

So yeah if you put it in bootloader mode it will just disappear from the Arduino as far as picking a port. And it'll still show up that it's connected in your devices.

limpid pond
keen surge
#

100%

#

The idea is for you to manually put it into bootloader mode so that you can push the update. Usually when you upload with Arduino it resets the board into bootloader mode to take it on its own. It's a process.

#

Did you go through The crucible that I linked to see if any of those issues that those guys were having might be something to look into?

limpid pond
#

yup

carmine edge
#

what version of arduino are you on now?

keen surge
#

I've never seen that 255 issue before myself

limpid pond
#

tried to see if crubile could help but ive basically tried everything they recommened

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

so my concern is that the ports show the boards as unknown

north dune
limpid pond
carmine edge
#

it says proffieboard com6?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

and then when you select that and try to upload, it disappears?

limpid pond
#

yup

#

this is what serial monitor shows

image.png
north dune
#

which looks correct.

#

Just to be 100% sure, what about here? All that info there on COM4?

didnt even enter dfu mode

#

still the same thing with dfu on

carmine edge
#

well, not quite the same thing

#

which arduino plugin version are you on?

limpid pond
limpid pond
#

doersnt even enter dfu automatically any more

#

πŸ’”

carmine edge
#

did you try resetting the board?

limpid pond
#

andi put it in dfu mode

#

just uninstalled and reinstalled proffieboard 4.6 now im getting error 255

#

shi mad weird ngl

carmine edge
#

try downgrading to the previous version of the proffieboard plugin before 4.6

#

i'm working on comparing your verbose output to mine to look for differences but it will take me a few minutes

limpid pond
#

aight ill try all previous versions just in case something different happens

#

3.6 failed

#

2.2 fails aswell but says exit status 1

#

1.0 fails aswell

carmine edge
#

dumb questions but just covering bases: have you tried different usb ports and/or a different data cable if you have one? (i don't think those are the issues, but just ruling it out)

limpid pond
#

ill try a different usb port

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

interesting. i'm guessing that's just an issue with the plugin being too outdated, but something to keep in our back pocket

limpid pond
#

different port doesnt work either

#

ill try a test config real quick

carmine edge
#

might have an idea, but need to do some looking thru my files first

limpid pond
#

test config fails aswell

carmine edge
#

can you post that test verbose output?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

hm, ok. give me another minute, trying to find a thread i was on yesterday

limpid pond
#

also tried it in win 8 compatability mode aswell

carmine edge
#

i realize this is probably going to be annoying, but this is what i would do at this point

#

i would do a full clean uninstall and reinstall of arduino. arduino keeps a number of folders around after you do a regular uninstall (or at least that's my understanding)

#

there's instructions for a clean uninstall here: https://forum.arduino.cc/t/uninstall-fresh-install-of-arduino-ide/1276407/4

Arduino Forum
Uninstall/Fresh Install of Arduino IDE

Arduino IDE stores data under five separate external folders. So if you want to make a fresh installation you should delete all of them: Sketchbook Folder The sketchbook folder location is configured via the Arduino IDE preferences. You can determine the location by selecting File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus and then checking the ...

#

it's been looking for stuff in your admin user files so make sure you check there

#

i would bet on something corrupted or didn't install properly that stayed in one of those hidden folders

limpid pond
#

reinstalling it rn

#

uploading the thing rn

#

and error 255 again

carmine edge
#

damn

limpid pond
#

greatttttttttttttttttt

carmine edge
#

really thought we were onto something lukenoo

limpid pond
#

bet my cable is trash

#

hoping thats it

north dune
#

no, I'm leaning towards something on the PC blocking things.

limpid pond
#

gonna try winusb

#

or wtf its called

north dune
#

not usually the issue, typically it's that damn Guillemot driver is the culprit, keeps overriding the driver. Though in this case it seems like the driver is still in place, but something else is interfering with arduino in starting the flash process. At least that's what it looks like to me. Did you make a crucible post yet? More proffie brainpower located here.

limpid pond
#

like try win 8 compatablility mode

#

try startup repair and allat

north dune
#

I doubt it's windows directly, but some 3rd party software causing it.

carmine edge
#

do you have any other software open? besides discord that is

limpid pond
#

also file explorer and opera gx

carmine edge
#

yeah, that should be fine

limpid pond
#

hmm now that i think about it i DID have the xbox wheel compatability app a while back but i deleted it

#

πŸ€”

carmine edge
#

could be worth checking to see if any files are still hanging out

#

idk, i don't remember guillemot driver giving an error 255 for anyone else

north dune
#

me either, usually just a failed to open DFU or some such.

carmine edge
#

did you ever try running arduino on the admin profile?

north dune
#

but when I google that error, it seems to fall in the same line.

carmine edge
#

it's also kinda weird that all the sketches are looking at admin to me. granted i don't have a profile named admin, but i would have thought it would install on the profile that you're using

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

k

carmine edge
limpid pond
#

gonna check all my drivers to see if anythings sketchy

#

heres all my drivers and stuff

#

i dont see anything sketchy at all

carmine edge
#

is your proffieboard plugged in?

limpid pond
#

yup

#

appears as this

image.png
carmine edge
#

i forget, are you on win10 or 11?

limpid pond
#

win11

#

im on 23h2

carmine edge
#

ok, go to windows settings -> bluetooth and devices -> devices -> scroll all the way down and find "more devices and printer settings"

#

you should get a popup window and proffieboard should be in there. right click -> properties

#

then go to the hardware tab and see what's there

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

hmm

#

leave that screen up, uplug the proffieboard, and try running the one click driver installer again

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

then plug the proffieboard back in

limpid pond
#

appears as proffie baord when not is bootloader mode

image.png
carmine edge
#

ok

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

right click proprties then

limpid pond
#

gonna do the driver setup again

carmine edge
#

go into properties there

limpid pond
#

reinstalled the drivers

image.png
carmine edge
#

i think that looks right. try an upload?

limpid pond
#

still the same error

#

sighhhh... ill try and see what a whole seperate windows install does

carmine edge
#

i would say take a break and wait for your new cable tomorrow to see if that has an impact

#

and if not you can always try a fresh windows

limpid pond
#

ima try a new windows install on a seperate drive just in case though

carmine edge
#

if there is some sort of problem with something you've previously installed that would certainly solve it

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

fortunately it's mostly automated lol

limpid pond
#

yup but still longgggggggggg

carmine edge
#

you could also try posting in arduino's forums

#

i saw some references in there to error 255 but every thread seemed to peter out before describing a solution

limpid pond
north dune
#

hmm... wouldn't happen to have another computer to try this on.

#

laptop, etc.

limpid pond
#

nope... sadly

north dune
#

about all I got left as a suggestion is using a USB bootable linux distro that you can run all this off of, eliminating the PC's OS as the issue.

limpid pond
#

ill try mint rq

#

installing mint rn

#

just gotta waitttttt

#

On linux mint rn

carmine edge
limpid pond
#

50kbs a second just to install arduino...

#

Greattttt

#

Keeps on failing the downloadddd

#

Screw it ima just download mint to a separate drive

north dune
#

just don't do anything to override your main OS on the computer, would hate if my suggestion lead to that.

limpid pond
#

Got a seperate drive for that very reason lmaooo

#

Ughhh mint doesnt wanna download

carmine edge
#

have you considered that your house is on an ancient cursed burial ground?

limpid pond
carmine edge
#

just ruling out all the possibilities

limpid pond
#

Gonna delete the whole drive cause it DID have a other os on it

#

One that i dont use lmaooo

north dune
#

Might be time to burn some sage.

limpid pond
#

Just looked over and seen my sabers motherboard was lifted off the chassis because i had the micro usb plugged in lmaoooo

#

Works fine though

limpid pond
#

Trying ubuntu rn

#

Cause mint aint wanna install at allllll

#

Installing ubuntu

#

Praying that proffie os works

#

πŸ™

#

Finally installed ubuntu

#

now time to test if proffieos works

#

πŸ”₯ πŸ”₯ πŸ”₯

limpid pond
#

Ughhhh

#

Ubuntu says i aint got a directory or smth

#

So annoying istfg

#

Screw it ima just use windows

#

A whole NEW separate install

#

It totallyyyyyyy should work... totally...

carmine edge
#

sorry i don't use ubuntu/linux much so can't really help you there πŸ˜…

limpid pond
#

Holy shir

#

Shit*

#

Guys...

#

It MIGHT be working
