Arduino board not getting detected

[melvillepradhan]

I am a newbie to arduino. Trying to build a dust sensor.I am trying to connect an arduino UNO with my PC but does not seem to connect.Checked device manager and the device is not being shown in other devices. Need Help!!

Arduino: 1.8.12 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Sketch uses 4098 bytes (12%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 246 bytes (12%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1802 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
Serial port not selected.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Thanks

When a board is not "seen" by the Arduino IDE it is usually a system issue.
If the board is correctly detected by the Operating System then its serial port is not being recognised.

Often the main reasons for this are:

- the board is not an original Arduino board (we make sure our boards need no driver to work on Windows, Linux, Mac OS
This means you'll need to identify which drivers to install, but for that we suggest you get in touch with who sold you the board.

- the board is an original Arduino and you have not removed it from the "conductive foam".
That foam is there as an electro-static discharge protection, but should be removed before using the board

I am having the same problem, Arduino Uno, Com9, and I get-
Error
We could not find any board.
Are you sure you have a board connected to your computer with a USB cable? Did you just take your Arduino Board out of the box? Did you remove the conductive foam from the board? Do you see at least an LED ON on your board?
Try checking your cable connection. You can also write us on the Forum.

So here I am, my board is out of foam, yellow light blinking,green light steady, just out of the box, tried two different USB cables and two different USB ports.

Are there any suggestions to help with next steps?
Thanks,
