Welcome Maslowian!
Is the firmware unziped/extracted before the upload? On what operating system (win?) are you?
Edit: A screenshot of the arduino IDE can help to speed things up

I know it is a poor attempt from a linux guy on a windows tutorial, but I still hope it can help.

Did @Gero solve this for you @weld4cash?
Thank you
Hey guys,
I received my maslow a few weeks ago and putting it together. I’m at the point where I’m trying to calibrate it and it’s not working. I had issues with ground control crashing when I plug in the arduino but I fixed that. I’ve been trying to upload the firmware to the arduino for the second time but it’s giving me an error message.

This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NVM I figured it out.
Note to anyone having this issue. Which ever USB port you upload the firmware to on your computer you have to use the same USB port to do everything.
Cheers,
Dan

When you move to a new port the port name changes. You would need to then choose that port in Ground Control or the Arduino IDE.
Here are some notes I have on the Mac and serial ports.
It references some unrelated software but the concept and tools apply.
Thank you
