I made a really cool invention with the Arduino Uno but I want to make it smaller. So I got a Arduino Nano and a really small breadboard and made the exact same thing with the Arduino Nano. However, when I upload the code I wrote to the Nano the Arduino software said there was a problem uploading the code to the board and it gave me the name of a website. The website basically said to install drivers. Then I found a website that told me how to install drivers, https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/DriverInstallation. I followed the instructions but when I get to the device managers listing of electronics I do not see Arduino Nano.
Please tell me how I can install drivers on the Arduino Nano.

When I use code tags I exceed the forums limit of 9000 characters. But when you go into device manager do you install the drivers for: USB Serial port (com6) to have it upload to the board correctly.
I think I install drivers on the one that says USB serial port com 6 because when I unplug the USB port connected to my project the one that says USB serial port com 6 disappears. Am I right do I install drivers on the one that says USB serial port com 6.
The drivers do not care what the COM port number is.
Any items that use that same driver can be on a different port if they wish.
The driver is for the HARDWARE not the port number.
Quick example is your computer mouse.
You probably only installed one driver for it but you can plug it into other usb ports and it is still the same mouse...It just used the same driver on another usb port..
When I tell it to update the driver for com 6 it says the best driver for the serial port com 6 is already on my computer. What should the driver I install be.
use the old bootloader option from the processor dropdown list and update the driver using device manager.
if error still persists switch to another pc and install the drivers there.
or just use Bluino or Arduino droid on android to upload the code once u compile the code(i recommend Bluino Loader).
or something might be wrong with ur Nano
just search google for "CH341g driver download" .
if problem still persists msg me personally
Please can someone tell me how I can upload my code to my Arduino Nano I have been trying for weeks and I cannot figure it out please tell me I want to enter it in a competition and the competition has a deadline so please tell me how I can upload the code to the Arduino Nano.
Would be useful to tell us more about your particular issue ?
What have you tried as that saves us guessing or going over what you might have already done ?
Did you read this whole post as there were some great tips in it ?
