I didnt think the problem had anything to do with the code. I was basically just running the consoleRead example from the Board optrion in the examples menu in the IDE itself.
the problem started to occur after I did this install step here.
2)Add a “Uno Yun” board type in the file: Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\board.txt. as below and reopen the Arduino IDE:
unoyun.name=Arduino Uno – Dragino Yún
unoyun.upload.via_ssh=true
unoyun.vid.0=0x2341
unoyun.pid.0=0x0043
unoyun.vid.1=0x2341
unoyun.pid.1=0x0001
unoyun.upload.tool=avrdude
unoyun.upload.protocol=arduino
unoyun.upload.maximum_size=32256
unoyun.upload.maximum_data_size=2048
unoyun.upload.speed=57600
unoyun.upload.disable_flushing=true
unoyun.upload.use_1200bps_touch=true
unoyun.upload.wait_for_upload_port=true
unoyun.bootloader.tool=avrdude
unoyun.bootloader.low_fuses=0xff
unoyun.bootloader.high_fuses=0xde
unoyun.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x05
unoyun.bootloader.file=optiboot/optiboot_atmega328.hex
unoyun.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
unoyun.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F
unoyun.build.mcu=atmega328p
unoyun.build.f_cpu=16000000L
unoyun.build.board=AVR_YUN
unoyun.build.core=arduino
unoyun.build.variant=standard
after I did this, it didnt matter what code I was running cuzz I still got the same error.
