When I want to create c++ project from Arduino sketch, it was prompted:

"The system cannot find the drive specified"

 

anyone here has met this problem?

You haven't supplied the Sketch File location ?

 

EDIT

 

Top Tips:

  1. How to properly post source code - see: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment... - also how to properly include images/pictures
  2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
  3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected

I mean when I click the button in the right side of "sketch file", this prompt would be there.

that's the button to browse for a sketch.

 

So, presumably, its default for where to start browsing has gone wrong.

 

Have you successfully imported a "sketch" before?

 

If so, was it from a removable drive - which is no longer present?

 

What happens if you just enter the path direct into the box - eg, copy & paste from the Windows explorer ... ?

Like Andy says just type in some known location like "C:\" into the text box before you try [...] and it should start there.

I copied address into it, then:

The path doesn't exist, or you have not permission to acess it.

Maybe you need to run as Administrator?

That box is expecting a full file specification - ie, the full path and file name - does it work if you give it that?

So that seems pretty clear!

 

So do you have permission to access that location?

 

Is it a network drive?

 

Can you open the "sketch" in, eg, Notepad?

What is G: ?

Could it be readonly ?

 

Here's a test: Copy ArduinoSketch7 folder onto your desktop and attempt to open from there.
