Did you do any modifications the .ino file before uploading? And are you sure you completed these https://github.com/vike256/Unibot#raspberry-pi-pico-w-setup-for-arduino-ide

[vike256]

I haven't had any problems uploading the .ino to the board. Have you uploaded working Arduino code to your Pico W before? What versions are you using for Python and Arduino IDE?

py 3.10.5 arduino 2.2.1

[Soduem]

and yes i have used software on it before

[vike256]

what version Arduino are you using @vike256

I am using the version 2.2.1 (latest).

can you create a short video of you uploading it and all that so we can copy your exact steps?

Probably will someday but I don't have time right now. From what I saw in your issue #3 (Board not connected), your problem could be that you haven't selected the right com port. Go to Arduino IDE > Tools > Port and try a different port.

[vike256]

i think i got it, was a faulty cable. so now i have com3 port but, still the normal error (Multiple libraries were found for "Mouse.h")

That's not a problem if it does not say error. It just selects one of the libraries automatically. The red text can be quite misleading in Arduino IDE.

[vike256]

oh i did thank you very much. i can make a video for your yt if you want?

Feel free to do so. You can link it to this issue.

[vike256]

ok so it registers the colours but doesn't actually do the mouse movement

Hey, I'm closing this issue. Can you open another one with more details discussing your current issue?
