When uploading, the following error appears in the output panel.
Upload error: Error: 2 UNKNOWN: uploading error: no upload port provided
This error appears when trying to upload with no port selected. Please check the following:
Do you have a board plugged in?
The board that you want to upload your code to needs to be plugged into a USB port using a data USB cable. If you just want to try compiling your code without uploading it, click the ‘Verify’ button (check mark symbol).
Do you have a port selected?
The board dropdown in the top bar should display your selected port as [board] at [port].
If it only has the board name, with a red check mark, you need to select a port.
How to select a port
In the example above, the board ‘Arduino Uno’ has been selected. The same board is also plugged into a USB port. However, no port has been selected, which is indicated by the red cross. Let’s open the board dropdown by clicking.
If you have a board plugged in, it should appear in the list. In our example, it’s Arduino Uno at /dev/cu.usbmodem14201. Click to select the port.
With the port selected, you can try uploading the code.
