Wsl

I found a YouTube vid from Low Level Programming.
Development is on a Linux environment and I didn’t want to bother figuring out how to install all the necessary programs/compilers on Windows so I switched over to WSL

Typed all the code out and ran make but got:

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
...

Searched the internet for why that is the case, and found a solution: I needed to reinstall the driver since the Arduino wasn’t showing up as “Arduino” but as “Univeral Serial Bus” on Device Managers:
But the avr problem was still showing up, so I figured it had to do with the COM ports not translating over to WSL
- ports show up on WSL as /dev/ttyS# where # is the COM port #
- Have to switch over to WSL 1 since WSL 2 doesn’t support serial ports (the link also contains instructions on how to change it)
Still didn’t work…so I tried to upload an Arduino sketch with the IDE and it worked so the Arduino isn’t broken
Tried to flash again and it worked!! I don’t know what that’s the case but it worked
Tried with the CPP code from the book but avr-g++ doesn’t include the standard library

tried to use the toolchains but still have no idea how it works
