Why does my arduino still shows not connected eventhough I already check the driver and its present there, com8. And also once I plugged in the cable a program I did previously automatically plays? Is the arduino broken or what?
Your other topic on the same subject deleted.
Please do not duplicate your questions as doing so wastes the time and effort of the volunteers trying to help you as they are then answering the same thing in different places.
Please create one topic only for your question and choose the forum category carefully. If you have multiple questions about the same project then please ask your questions in the one topic as the answers to one question provide useful context for the others, and also you won’t have to keep explaining your project repeatedly.
Repeated duplicate posting could result in a temporary or permanent ban from the forum.
Could you take a few moments to Learn How To Use The Forum
It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.
Thank you.
Hi @hohowa. Which Arduino board are you using?
Arduino Uno. Do you know how to fix this? Huhu
@ptillisch bruv need help
@hohowa you are being incredibly rude by posting repeatedly to nag me for help. This sort of behavior is very counter productive. You will get much better results from this forum if you behave politely and respectfully, as I hope you would do when interacting with us in person in the real world. Even though we are communicating via the Internet, we are all real humans here, so act accordingly.
Please try this troubleshooting procedure and then report your results in a reply on this forum thread:
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
- Open the Windows Device Manager.
- Select View > Devices by type from the Device Manager menus.
- Open the "View" menu.
- If there is a ✓ to the left of the "Show hidden devices" menu item, click on "Show hidden devices" to disable it.
- Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
- Take note of the contents of the "Other devices" and "Ports (COM & LPT)" sections of the Device Manager tree.
- Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
- Select Action > Scan for hardware changes" from the Device Manager menus.
Did you see any new device appear in the Device Manager tree after doing this? If so, please tell us where it is located in the tree and what it is named.
You can repeat steps 5-8 multiple times if you are not sure.
@ptillisch oh, im sorry for the behaviour. Will do better next time. But yea nothing changed
No worries. I guess you are excited to continue to progress with Arduino and I can certainly sympathize with that feeling.
Make sure the USB cable is completely plugged into both the Arduino board and the PC.
If that doesn't help, you may have a damaged/defective or charge-only USB cable. Try a different cable.
Either of the above can result in the power connections being made (and thus LEDs lit on the board), but no data connections (and thus no port for the board).
Yea. But its before its working fine not until I open a code and it stops working. But thanks
I'm not sure I understood correctly what you mean by this. Please provide a more detailed description to help me to understand it.
What I mean is my arduino uno works fine before I tried opening a code for the IDE. It stops connecting to the arduino; and every time I plug it it will automatically play/program the code I previously open
These words don't mean anything to me. This is why I asked you to provide a more detailed description.
Did you check the things I suggested in my previous reply?:
If there is still no port for the board listed under the Tools > Port menu in Arduino IDE after trying those things, please reply here on the forum thread to let us know and we'll provide additional assistance.
This behavior is normal and expected. The sketch program you upload to the Arduino UNO board is written to the non-volatile memory on the Arduino board. That program will run every time you provide power to the board regardless of which sketch you have open currently in Arduino IDE, whether Arduino IDE is open on your computer, or whether the board is connected to your computer at all.
Kuya thank youuuu. It finally show up HAHAHA. I thought I need to buy a new one for this thesis hahaha. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
