I recently bought an arduino uno and am following the instructions to install the drivers. The instructions say I need to find COM PORTS in DEVICE MANAGER in control panel but it's not there even when I choose display hidden objects in the device manager options.
I tried going into BIOS to enable PORTS but I can't seem to find an "advanced settings" or "peripherals" menu to do so. I have an Acer Aspire 5755G-6620 laptop.
Is there some way to enable PORTS or is there another way to install the driver?...
Thanks
If there is no COM & LPT section, look under "Other Devices" for "Unknown Device".

I'm trying to use an Arduino board (brand new), but it doesn't show up as an available port to write to connect to. Under my boards it doesn't show up, but it shows up under "Other Devices" as "ATmega16u2 DFU"
I've read online that the firmware needs to be updated, and I followed the instructions on the following link:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/DFUProgramming8U2
The link to the latest firmware is broken. How else can I go about this?
Have you installed the drivers? if it is an original arduino board, inside the IDE installation folders you will find the drivers.
After I searched for this issue and did not find a solution yet, I will ask here:
I have a Windows 10 computer with Arduino IDE 1.8.5 installed.
When I try to connect my Arduino Industrial 101, it is not possible to select the COM port in the IDE. Additionally, it isn't even shown in the device manager as "unknown device" as e.g. Arduino COM port doesn't work or Arduino doesn't get recognized state.
Before anyone asks:
-I ran the installer as administrator
-The device drivers are installed (At least they were ticked in the installer programm)
-I have this issue on a second computer (Windows 7 with Arduino IDE 1.8.5), too
Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
EDIT: I tried again with the NodeMCU: The IDE shows COM port 7 in the information area on the lower right but when uploading I get a "Failed to open COM7" error. So, it seems to be a general IDE issue...
Ok, I found the issue... You won't believe me but either it was a broken cable or a cable that does not have enough power supply somehow. Strangely, this was the official cable from the Arduino package I got. My Samsung mobile cable saved the day^^
I want to install a Arduino MKRFox1200 .
I've installed the drivers,
but i can't find it in the IDE
and even its installed I see this message in the IDE
and this is the result of Get Board Info, but the board is flashing green
You need to install the MKRFox board support package.
Follow the getting started instructions and add the Atmel SAMD Core to your Arduino IDE from the Board Manager.
After you installed it, you should be able to select select the MKRFOX1200 in Tools>Board
I am trying to download code to my littleBits Arduino module on IDE software. I am not able to find the port whenever I am trying to download the image to the board. Is this an internal issue, or an issue with my Arduino board?
You need to check if the arduino serial driver is properly installed in device manager. If arduino serial port is available in Ports then you can download program through IDE
For visual help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HqXAmV_Ock
Make sure you have proper drivers for your board. In Arduino IDE make sure you are selecting the proper target ie, littleBits Arduino board.
If you are using the Linux system you can use dmesg to see if your system detected the device properly.
If you are using windows system use device manager to make sure your device is properly connected.
Has it ever worked? Did it work for a while then stop?
Reason I ask, I had a problem where the Little Bit suddenly stopped accepting new code. Whenever I tried to download, the Arduino IDE started reporting Unknown USB Device.
Turned out, we had bricked the device. I blogged my steps for recovery here.
Check tools>ports and see if any are available, try them all, (check
while the board is connected)
if none are available check device manager under com ports there should be your device listed if not the you need to reinstall the drivers.
also check if the board is connected correctly (i.e. the connection cord is working properly)
I purchased this extruder controller board and this board to connect it to the computer. I am following the tutorial above in trying to set it up. We successfully did the boot loader part of that tutorial and the DEBUG LED is flashing. I followed the tutorial all the way up to uploading the program. The Arduino software does not find it in "Tools -> Serial Port", but allows me to burn the bootlegger. The only options are a couple bluetooth devices I have connected, none of which are useful.
I am only aware of windows drivers for the ISP programmer board you're using. When I've ordered funky hardware off of eBay with a non-existent or difficult-to-find OSX driver, I've had success running Parallels. This is a funny work-around, but it might be your best bet -- many folks over on the Arduino.cc forums are having the same problem.
So: Curse the Gods. Buy parallels. Install windows. Install Atmel's official drivers. Burn your bootloader. Get back to building.
As always, if a serial port isn't showing up in the Arduino IDE, run the following command from Terminal:
ls /dev/tty* | grep 'usb'
