Thanks for the screen grab. I've circled the menu option for selecting the processor type below:


If you click on that menu option it should open a submenu that will normally list 3 processor options:

ATmega328p
ATmega328p (Old Bootloader)
ATmega168

You'll need to select ATmega328p (Old Bootloader) otherwise sketches won't upload.

Hi Andrew

I re-visited the Arduino IDE download page and there is an older version which works fine.

Loads of warnings in the compile/verify stage but they are just warnings and managed to upload on the second attempt to hit the reset button at the right time.

Managed to change the text and it was accepted and now displaying my text so upload definitely working.

I will try the UNO on traffic lights next to see if that works!

Thank you for your help.

Hi Andrew

Finally got this to work by downloading an earlier version of the IDE from Arduino site.
Version 1.8.1.9
I ignored some warnings during the verify and it works fine.
Managed to upload some minor changes to the text and will later try the UNO traffic lights etc to see if that works on this version.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Excellent
