Hello and thanks for the reply. I appreciate the feedback as I want to get this little project of mine completed as soon as I can.
I have already uploaded a sketch on the black widow that has two empty functions (loop and setup) and this did not work. I found this tip on some forum. When you say empty sketch do you mean completely empty? The reason I am asking is because a completely empty sketch does not compile.
I retried the process now just to be sure and I am still having the same issue as before.
