Hello,
I am using the arduino uno at school and have decided to buy my own for home use. I installed the arduino software (1.0.5) Then plugged in the arduino board into my front usb 2.0 slot. The drivers installed fine ( i believe, no errors were shown). I went to the arduino software and looked under, tools>serial-port, but serial-port is grayed out. Both the yellow and the green lights are solid on my board. But i cant do anything with it until i can select a serial port. Please help i do not know what is wrong! Thank you!
