Can't upload OpenCat.ino in web editor; but can upload with Arduino Desktop 1.8.19

The Bluetooth adapter is added as a serial port to the computer. Further reading shows that a Chromebook uses a different serial port mechanism.

We didn't consider supporting Chrome book so there might be some compatibility issues. I hope the USB connection can work for now.

Yes, the USB adapter does work for now; however, it exposes the circuit board so there's a risk of damage from shorting something, or banging something.

I'm hoping to mount the bluetooth adapter permenently under the protective cover, so my grandkid can play with various sketches without exposing the NyBoard.

Please let me know when the Petoi software is ported to the Chromebook.

Thanks,

Hasan

SOLUTION FOUND AND NOW CORRECTED!!!!

1) Download the Arduino IDE for linux from

1. This one: https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz

2. Not this one: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/releases/download/1.8.19/arduino-1.8.19.tar.xz

2) Install it on the chromebook per the video at: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cve6n4LZqI"

3) Plug the Bittle USB adapter into the robot and the chromebook.

4) Set the chromebook linux VM to recognize the USB port

Setings => Advanced => Developers => Linux development environment

=> Manage USB devices => USB Serial (turn on)

NOTE: Step 4) must be repeated every time USB connection is reconnected/powered on

The zip file was the wrong package, I'm about to install using the tar package for 1.8.19

I‘m not sure about Chrome books as they are still web-based. How did you get the Arduino Desktop work? Was it on another computer?

Yes, in a Windows laptop. I'm looking for a way to run Arduino Desktop on a chromebook. Apparently, it was possible at on time, per this video:
