| 35 | + |
| 36 | +* Rule out other problems by uploading the `Blink` sketch (Examples > Basics > Blink) in the [Web Editor](https://create.arduino.cc/editor). |
| 37 | +* [Delete the device](https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360018324700) and add the device again as a new device from the Device tab. Associate a new Thing with at least one variable and upload the sketch.
