MacOS: Can connect to arduino but cannot upload

[bjorntm]

Hi all,

I have this really weird problem: I can use my arduino nano (old bootloader) with the arduino ide software on MacOS, and I can connect in mblock 5, but as I try to upload in mblock 5 I get an error. If I copy and paste the code from mblock to arduino ide I can upload it without issues, so it’s not the code that is the problem.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I’ve reinstalled the driver a couple of times but it doesn’t help. It’s probably something really stupid

Thanks!

Additional information:

• I have to manually select the /dev/tty/wchusbserial14xx to connect in mblock.

• I also tried mlink with mblock online in Chrome. Exactly the same behavior.

• I tried all arduino variants from the device list.

• Below are my working Arduino IDE settings:
  

  

• Get board info says board is not recognized, but it works anyhow.

Hi bjorntm,

It is the latest version Arduino nano board which supported by mBlock 5 software. Do you use the same arduino nano board as Alessandro?Mblock5 Arduino Nano firmware update with Linux

[bjorntm]

It’s not exactly the same, but it is the “Old bootloarder” version so it probably isn’t the latest version.
Are you planning on supporting older versions?

Thanks

Hi bjorntm，

Our product manager has recorded it, but I am afraid that it won’t come soon.

@bjorntm Hi Bjorn! Have you had any luck in making mBlock work with old bootloader?
