Which Arduino are you using ?

3

an Uno, but I think it's like a with CH340G

4

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ch340-drivers

5

I installed it but the error is still popping up, shld I be using arduino Uno as board?

6

Why would you select any other type of board in the IDE, if that is what you mean

7

cuz it's not arduino?

8

But it is a clone of it

Which board had you selected in the IDE when you got the error ?

9

arduino uno

10

Which port was selected ?

11

COM3?
tried COM4 too

12

That implies that you had tried at least one other port

Which port does Windows create when you plug in the board ?

13

there's an alternative Com4 for c-type, also tried that

14

Ok, whatever that means, but unless Windows creates a COM port when you plug in the board the upload will never work

15

it does

16

Let me ask the same question a different way

What is the name of the port that Windows creates when you plug in the board ?

17

I have three USB ports, when i plug into one it creates- USB SERIAL CH340 (COM5)
when I plug into the other one it creates-USB SERIAL CH340 (COM4)
and last one creates- USB SERIAL CH340 (COM3)

18

Do you see this in Device Manager?

yes

When you see COM3 in the Device manager, can you select IDE >> TOOLS >> PORT >> COM3... or is there no COM3?
