my sparki is broken

Hi
Sad news…my sparki no longer lets me upload to him…either on minibloq or on sparkiduino…

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no success…I have even updated the drivers…no difference…

I dont know what else to try…

It gets stuck compiling even the simplest example code

then makes a noise as though sparki is uploading but he isnt and then gets stuck there for ages

then eventually gives an error code involving a butterfly and AV910???





I dont understand why he worked just fine and now he is broken…even minibloq wont upload…
Iv tried manual uploading but i cant get that to work either…
Im really disappointed
Any help would be greatly appreciated… A
And no my additions to sparki have not yet arrived so i haven’t tinkered with him or anything

Hi Ash,

This can definitely be solved by manual uploading, just make sure to pay special attention to the order of actions and their timing. If you still can’t get it to work, feel free to contact help@arcbotics.com about a replacement.

crisis resolved!!
Thank you for your help
I reinstalled the drivers again, restarted the comp, used a shorter cable and manually uploaded and it works fine now
Thank you :slight_smile:
