Thanks for your advice but having followed step by step and not getting exactly the same screenshots. I am left in the same predicament. I feel I am going round in circles.
I am even contemplating getting a different Arduino, one with an FTDI chip as I seem to be able to access them.I guess I'm a bit slow but I can't seem to get this thing up and running
By the way when I plug the uno in I get a Green light and an Orange one flashing. Does than mean anything.I've looked at afew troubleshooters but no help there.Any new suggestions would be welcome.
