Please provide details of your project.

  1. What is the project about; full details please so we can try to judge what can possibly be wrong or possibly has gone wrong.
  2. Did it work before? If yes, what changed?
  3. What is connected to pins 0 and 1? Disconnect as it will interfere with uploads.
  4. Anything else connected to the board? Disconnect it and try again.
  5. Original Uno or clone? For clone, which serial-to-usb converter is on the board? If the serial-to-usb converter is not the CH340, run the loopback test and post the results

  7. What does your operating system think of the board?
  8. Does the selected port disappear from the IDE if you disconnect the board?

Possibly less relevant but good to know
