I just got my brand new arduino uno and hooked up to my laptop and tried to sync it to it and it would show as no boards found it only show up with com3 serial port (usb) help pls
Did you start the IDE?
Did you try to use an other USB cable?
If your board does not have the 16U2 serial-to-USB converter (the IC closest to the USB port), it will not be identified as an Uno.
COM16 is an official Uno with 16U2.
COM3 is an "Uno" (SparkFun RedBoard) with FT232; it could just as well have been something else.
COM4 is a Nano with CH340; it could just as well have been a Mega or Uno with CH340.
Have you installed the correct board from the 'boards' library? I believe the basic uno needs the Arduino AVR Boards library. Then use device manager->Ports (COM & LPT) to see which COM port pops up when you plug it in to the USB. After that, you should be able to select the correct board and COM Port from within the Arduino IDE in the drop-down box at the top of each sketch.
Thank you for all the help I figured it out
Can you provide information as to the cause and the solution? It might help others who experience the same problem.
I had to update the ide drivers and the drivers for the Asus tif gaming a15 and then it work perfectly
