[Issue] Flashed Successful but not really

Developer Tools
1

I've been desperately trying to get my Xeon to run BLE and continue to bump into issues.

I'm using the latest version of Visual Studio Code on Mac OSX. My device has 1.5.2.

The code I am trying to flash is from the UART example with the addition of me trying to control the LED
Every time I flash the code, it says successful. But changing the UUID or adding the LED control does not take effect for some reason, which leads me to believe it's still running the old code?

Executing task: make -f '/Users/.../.particle/toolchains/buildscripts/1.9.2/Makefile' flash-user -s <

Just a stupid question, but it has happened before :wink:
Are you sure you had saved the edits before buidling?

Also are you actually building the project you think you are? Not the file you edit is built but the project (which may actually use a different file as its “main” source).

Try a bigger change that will definety result in different build stats or just a syntax error and see whether you get a different outcome.

Just closed everything, reopened and uncommented a bunch of code to be sure and yeah.
Still not responding as I would expect. I do feel like I am missing something very simple

I was attempting to use the debugger earlier, could something from there cause this issue?

This in deed could be.

You may want to run Particle: Clean and then build and flash application and device OS.

Gave that a try too. My code for controlling the LED looks like it should change the color from white right?

I will be unpacking another Xeon I have stuffed away somewhere to see if it is the device or IDE.

Opened another Xeon I have and unable to get anything working.

I might be missing something. Just to confirm, I just had to pair the Xeon with the iOS app and not attach it to a Mesh?

With the new device I tried flashing a simple app that did below. But nothing is working. The device just has the main LED flashing Blue, D7 is a light blue and the CHR is flashing.

SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL);


void setup() {
    RGB.control(true);
    RGB.color(255, 255, 255); 
}

bool isOn = false;

void loop() {
   
   if (isOn)
   {
       RGB.color(0,0,0);
       isOn = false;

   }else{
       RGB.color(255,255,255);
       isOn = true;
   }

   delay(2000);

}
