Troubleshooting/Resetting Arduino Create

Sometimes Arduino Create can misbehave. It will either no longer see your Arduino or it will get hung up when uploading. If this happens, perform the following steps:

  1. If attempting to upload a program, hover over where it says "Busy" and click the "X".
  2. Disconnect your Arduino from the computer.
  3. In the system tray in the bottom right corner, click the up arrow. Find the Arduino Create Agent (a grey Arduino logo). Right-click on the logo and select "Quit Agent". If it is not there, it has already quit because it crashed.
  4. Save your sketch. Then refresh the page in your browser.
  5. Go to the start menu and search for "Arduino Create Agent". Click the "Arduino Create Agent". It should add the grey Arduino logo for the agent in the system tray in the bottom right.
  6. Reconnect your Arduino. Select the connected device with the specified COM port and test it again.
