Hello friends.

Here i want to share How to convert Arduino Sketch from .ino format to HEX format & how to upload it on Arduino using XLOADER

When we are using XLOADER application to upload sketch to Arduino we need Sketch file in HEX format.

This is very simple just follow mention steps and you can watch video for better understanding (recommended)

OR

you can use file > preferences > show verbose output during compilation (Check)

verify your code

scroll to the bottom of the output (assuming a successful build), and get the location of the file that ends with .hex

in my case, it was something like

C:\Users\Meena\AppData\Local\Temp\build7741102908600848800.tmp/sketch_oct09a.cpp.hex

i believe you can directly paste that path into XLoader, and save some time searching for the right file
