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)
1) Press "WIN+R" to open Run Command
2) Type "%TEMP%" & press enter
3) Select all item and delete them, some of them can't delete skip them go back to desktop
4) Open Arduino IDE application
5) Now open sketch of which you want HEX file here i am using "BLINK" sketch as a example

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
