STEP 2: Verify the Serial Monitor on the computer and the Serial Port on the Arduino are set to the same data rate. The data rate is often referred to as the baud rate. The data rate for the Arduino's serial port is set by the Serial.begin() programming statement, usually found in the setup() method. Look for a 'USB Serial Port' in the Ports section; that's the Arduino board. When I opened the Widows Device Manager as instructed, I could not find a 'USB Serial Port' or the Ports section.

The Arduino software scans all the serial (COM) ports on your computer when it starts and when you open the Tools menu, and these networked ports can sometimes cause large delays or crashes. Troubleshooting and FAQ for the Arduino* IDE. In Arduino, choose Tools > Serial Port > /dev/cu.usbmodemXXXX. There may be several entries with the same naming convention; try a couple of them with the Blink sketch to find the proper one. If you get a 'The program 'java' can not found.' Message, enter the command: sudo apt-get install. And when I went to select the Serial Port, the option 'Tools > Serial Port' is greyed out. I thought it is because I did not grant read and write permissions on my usb port (ttyACM0). So I did sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0 but the option is still greyed out. I have started using LIFA for the frist time. So, I start with Arduino Analog Read Pin, example. But, I cannot assign the com port for my board. The Labview cannot find any COM port that I connect with Arduino UNO. Could you please give me some advised. Are you able to upload firmware to the Arduino. The device manager does not have a serial ports in its list, it does have usb controllers but that just expands into a list of the port names – Gibby Dec 13 '13 at 19:42 It should be under 'Ports (COM & LTP)'.

I'm just trying to know how to established serial communication between Arduino and MATLAB. From this tutorial I copied the code, but as for my PC use 'Windows' I had to change my serial port name. My arduino is connected to 'COM4' port .

But When I run the code , error poped saying that : ' Open failed: Port: COM4 is not available. No ports are available.' I do not understand what this mean and how am I suppose to solve the problem. I have found nothing helpful in internet . Can you please help me out ?

my code is given below :

Thanks in advance .

Your port may be used or open for another channel . Insert this line before creating the obj:

This line will delete any previous setup of the comPort .

Arduino Serial Port Not Found Mac Os

Arduino Serial Port Not Found Ubuntu

For the past week I have been programming an arduino uno with a computer running windows 7. When I first started I found the device on Com 6 and was able to upload code no problem. Recently it suddenly stooped receiving code under the error:

Serial port 'COM6' not found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port menu?

The Serial port menu though is grayed out. Research has told me to open up device managers and update drivers but there is no other devices tab in my device manager. The arduino is run off the power of the usb cable and runs the code I uploaded a few days ago just fine. What can I do to be able to upload code to the arduino?

Update:

I installed the arduino software on another computer and it does not recognize the arduino either, one of the comments indicates that this could be a problem with the FTDI chip, how can I test if this is the case, and if it is can I fix it.

Thanks in advance

For linuxTo solve the problem simply run the IDE as super user ,so go to terminal and type' sudo arduino'

Arduino Nano Port Not Found

To solve this problem permanently ,

In the terminal run ' gksudo gedit'

In gedit open /usr/share/applications/arduino.desktop file

change the line Exec=arduino to Exec=gksudo arduinosave the file.Similarly do for windows..

Also try to re- install arduino driver.

Arduino Not Reading Port

The Arduino probably started using a different port. When you plug Arduinos into a different USB port it sometimes defaults to a new COM port. Check your device settings for which ports are being used and try each of those. Also try plugging it into a different USB port (if no ports are displayed) and it should register with a new COM. If that fails reboot your machine and repeat the above. If that fails reinstall the Arduino USB driver and repeat above. If that fails you might have fried your Arduino's USB chip (or some other hardware on the Arduino).

There are two types of cable:

1. Charging Cable
2. Data Transfer Cable

So try changing the cable, if you have already tried every USB driver and port; or else

Songsterr app free download. Install a new driver using this link, http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_MAC_ZIP.html.But after installing the driver, if it doesn't work, then change the cable.
