Introduction: How to Take (wipe) All Projects / Sketches Off of and Arduino.

Sometimes you need to clear, wipe, erase, - whatever you want to call it - to run code on it from a different source, such as the Processing platform, and you don't want to run the code currently uploaded code. You've tried to upload a blank sketch and you get this Error Message:


core.a(main.cpp.o): In function `main':
C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino/main.cpp:11: undefined reference to `setup' C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino/main.cpp:14: undefined reference to `loop'



Here how to do it.

Step 1: Remove All Unnecessary Hardware.

Remove all the unnecessary hardware and connect the Arduino to the computer.

(Yes, I'm using a spin off of the Arduino. It's still the same concept.)


(To get a RedBoard [ the spin off ] go here.)

Step 2: Upload the Sketch

Upload the attached sketch.
