Hi,
My son and I are attempting his first kit (12-in-1). I have having issues getting the IDE to recognize the board. When I go to tools, the Uno board is selected. When I try to select any port (it is currently connected via USB), the port option is grayed out and you can't select it.
I have updated the software for the boards and libraries. Under the device manager, I expected to see an unknown hardware under ports but nothing listed.
Currently using Windows 10 home edition. I have tried all the USB ports and different cables with no luck.
Any ideas?
The error code when attempting to compile is below.
