ST-4 upload issue #2

I have uploaded the software and received a"finished uploading" message, the red LED is on, the green LED stopped flashing but the hardware does not seem to respond to commands, COMMAND+# does not turn the LED on or off, the only change is that a yellow LED gives one fast flick when the command is executed. I also have a window with the following message: void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: This is my first contact with Arduino and uploading code so I have no idea what to do next. I would very much appreciate some assistance. Thanks, Gary

What is your whole setup? Do you try to control your Arduino from SkyCharts etc? Have you installed the ASCOM driver and platform?

Hello Gary,

It seems that you are uploading an empty arduino program instead of the sketch I link in the installation steps.

If this is the first time you use an arduino, I recommend that you try to upload the examples built-in with the arduino IDE software. There are a lot of resources on the internet on how to do so. You could start with the arduino forums.
