Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing issues with the programming screen for a Freenove Spider Bot while using Arduino software. Participants explore potential reasons for the missing screen and offer suggestions for troubleshooting.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports a problem with the programming screen not appearing and offers a URL for further investigation.
  • Another participant requests clarification on the hardware and software being used, specifically asking if the user is utilizing Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
  • The original poster confirms they are using Arduino and expresses frustration over the non-functioning help line and the missing programming screen.
  • One participant attempts to access the provided URL but encounters a "site can't be reached" message, questioning whether the programming screen issue is related to the computer or the spider bot's LCD.
  • Another participant suggests checking YouTube tutorials for Arduino and mentions the expectation of an icon on the desktop for launching the software.
  • A participant references a discussion on the Arduino forum regarding similar issues on Windows 10, implying that there may be known conditions affecting the installation.
  • The original poster reiterates the issue with the programming screen and expresses confusion about the help line's functionality, questioning their own understanding of the situation.
  • One participant prompts the original poster to check the tutorial that comes with the Freenove download for guidance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the cause of the missing programming screen, and multiple viewpoints and suggestions are presented without resolution.

Contextual Notes

There are indications of potential issues with the provided URLs and the installation process, but these remain unresolved. The discussion does not clarify the specific prerequisites for using the Arduino software.

TL;DR
File not coplete??
Just for fun I am building a spider bott, but I am sure there is a problem in the down load page as there is no progamming screen, I can give anyone the url if they care to look, any help appreciated.

Thanks Wolram.

Can you provide more context here? Your post is very non-specific.

Are you using Arduino, Raspberry-PI, something else?

Are you using ROS on your device?

...tba...
 
Hi yes its Arduino, , the problem I have is I don't get a progamming screen come up, and the help line dosent work, if you are willing to take a look its at http://feenove.com/fnk0031. thanks in advance.

All the best woolie.
 
Sadly, I don't think I can help much here. I did try your URL link but it was either blocked or it's wrong. I got the "site can't be reached" message.

When you say programming screen is that on your computer or an LCD on your spider bot?
 
Sory that link should have worked but I have a direct link here http://freenove.com/fnk0031 the programing screen should come up on the Arduino soft ware but I have looked and looked and canot find it, may be I am stupid, but I have tried the help line but the link for that dosent work.

Thanks for any help woolie.
 
Maybe look to youtube channels about tutorials on using arduino. I thought there'd be some icon on your desktop to click and a window would popup.





So you did a formal install of Arduino. Did you have the prerequisites?

The arduino interface is based on the Processing IDE interface so I would expect an icon on your desktop to click.

Here's some discussion on the Arduino forum about this condition for Windows 10:

Have you looked at the Tutorial that comes with the Freenove download?
