Hi @VlaJ123. Thanks for your report. I'm going to ask you to provide some additional information that might help us to identify the problem. Please do this:

Hello, the debug output is

The cause is shown by this error message:
There is an unfortunate bug in Arduino IDE or Arduino CLI that causes this to happen when you have a library installed with character encoding other than UTF-8 in its metadata file. This bug is tracked here: The workaround is to convert the encoding of the metadata file to UTF-8. That is easy to do with any decent text editor (e.g., VS Code, Notepad++) once you have identified the problematic library. Unfortunately the error message does not tell us which library or libraries it is. It will be one of the
You can open each of the files in turn using a text editor that shows the encoding. Or if you prefer you can use a "bisection" technique by moving half of the libraries out of the folder, restarting the Arduino ide, then checking whether or not the issue still occurs. If not, you know the problematic library was in the half removed. Repeating that process will narrow it down to the problematic library or libraries. It is best to have only a single issue per subject so we can consolidate all relevant discussion to one place, so I'll go ahead and close this in favor of the other. If you end up with additional information to share, feel free to comment in the other thread. If you would like further assistance with the workaround for the bug so that you can get the Arduino IDE into a fully functional state, please post over on the Arduino forum. I'll be sure to see your post over there and help you out: |
