I'm using an arduino with ATMEGA168A-PU chip in it, as guided by the arduino website i did every thing possible to install the drivers but it didn't get installed, and i even tried downloading many more versions of the arduino IDE software. ARDUINO 0017,0023,1.0.1,1.0. Actually even after linking the driver file the driver is not getting installed. I have uploaded a picture of my arduino board and for more info about the board http://www.robosoftsystems.co.in/roboshop/index.php/arduino/arduino-usb-810.html Someone please help!!!
If you built a serial only arduino board like you showed there, there are no drivers. You would just select the com port you attached the serial connector to on your PC.
but sir, my arduino doesn't come under a COM port. It comes there only if i have a driver installed, i have uploaded the screenshot of the device manager when my board was connected.
Please do have a look at it sir, and then please guide me how to go about my project, or if there are any other solutions please help me.
Or if you can suggest me a driver which will be compatible with my Arduino board....it would be really helpful...
The arduino you have said you have is an old serial device, it doesn't have or need drivers, however if you're using it on a modern laptop (or even some desktops) that doesn't have a serial interface you'll need a seperate usb-serial converter, the driver for that is in the hands of the device manufacturer and nothing to do with Arduino. Its not possible for us to suggest a driver without information regarding the usb-serial converter.
