I am a loss here, I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours now… Basically no mater what code I compile in Workbench results in code that compiles and flashes correctly. But never actually runs any user code. Long story short, I eventually tested using the “Blink an LED” example from the Web IDE. When I copy this example into Workbench, the code compiles and flashes correctly. But I never see any blinking leds also I never see a " spark/device/app-hash" event. The Photon is connected, I ping it from the console everything seems as far as I can tell fine. But no blinking LED’s. If I flash from the Web IDE, everything works as expected, Blinking LED’s, app-hash event… etc… I will also note if it’s not clear the status LED is exactly the same in both cases(breathing cyan). I have reinstalled the toolchain( twice for 1.5.0), tried Device os 1.4.4, Flashed via the Cloud, Flashed Via USB DFU. Everything says success… for example here is USB flash output… ```auto :::: PUTTING DEVICE INTO DFU MODE Done. :::: FLASHING APPLICATION text data bss dec hex filename 4220 108 1368 5696 1640 c:/Users/Josh/Documents/Hue-light-switch/Hue/target/1.5.0/photon/Hue.elf Serial device PARTICLE_SERIAL_DEV : not available Flashing using dfu: dfu-util 0.9 Copyright 2005-2009 Weston Schmidt, Harald Welte and OpenMoko Inc.

Can you run `particle binary inspect `? ---

Here is what I get. ```auto C:\Users\Josh\Documents\Hue-light-switch\Hue\target\1.5.0\photon>particle binary inspect Hue.bin Hue.bin CRC is ok (14d8c760) Compiled for photon This is an application module number 1 at version 6 It depends on a system module number 2 at version 1502 ``` ---

That looks fine, just the length of your binary looks too short I get 4312 bytes for a project with empty `setup()` and `loop()` so your 4328 in your flash report suggest you are not actually building active code. Can you post a screenshot of your full Workbench window with the file explorer tab open? ---

Here is the Screen Shot, Thanks so much for your help! ![Screenshot 2020-04-07 04.22.33](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/particle/original/3X/4/2/426fc8eb5ce997f30505bb38ac9d9f329d719d2a.png) ---

Ok, That got me to look at this very carefully. And yup… This is what I get for starting programming project at 1am. I was coding in new-light.ino… And it’s building Hue.ino… Sorry about wasting your time. But you did get me to look carefully at what I was doing.
