Arduino Uno Upload Hangs

[nightfuryninja]

Hello,

This is my first time using an Arduino and I cannot upload my code at all. The upload just seems to hang and then fails. I have tried to upload two files, the blink example file and the "new" file however neither of them seem to upload. I have changed the USB cable 3 times as well as USB port. (I have changed the COM port in the tools tab after doing so). I have moved from my desktop to my laptop to no avail. I have two arduino uno boards that I have switched between and neither has worked.

I have this error message with verbose debugging but it isn't very useful. Does anyone have the slightest idea?

Give the exact model of your board (link to the seller or a good photo).
Open the Device manager, section Ports (COM and LPT), see which port appears in the list after connecting your board.
If you see a yellow triangle, you need to install the driver.
Then select the same port in Arduino IDE, Tools > Port.

Yeah, it appears I had the wrong drivers actually. I own an Arduino Micro not an Uno but it kept appearing as one. Sorry for the hassle but thank you for sanity checking me.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure this happens to all of us at occasion, definitely to me
