Hello all. Newbie question, I've scoured the help forums and am struggling with this. I have an Arduino Uno wifi rev 2, and can't connect to it using the software downloaded IDE. However I can connect using the Cloud IDE, so this rules out the cable being faulty. I am running Windows 10. Port and board selections under the "Tools" menu seem correct to me. I have not tried any Bootloader adjustments. I have tried manually updating the USB driver via Device manager, and have navigated to Arduino\drivers directory, but this step seems to fail as windows insists that the best driver for Com5 is already installed, and "properties" indicates that this driver was created in 2006! Grateful for your help, thanks.
Please provide a detailed explanation of what you mean by this, including:
- What did you do?
- What were the results you expected from doing that?
- What were the results you observed that did not match your expectations?
- Make sure to include the full and exact text of any error or warning message you might have encountered.
technically, the Uno Wifi2 does not have a bootloader, and doesn't upload via the "com" port anyway, and may need additional drivers to recognize the "mEDBG" programming interface that it does have. Do you see any "unknown" USB devices in your Device manager?
(however, I have no theories about why it would work via the Cloud but not the local IDE.)
Port and board selections under the "Tools" menu seem correct to me.
And they are ... ? You did download the Arduino MegaAVR board package, right? Despite the name, an "Uno WiFi2" is nothing at all like the regular "Uno."
Many thanks for your reply. No, I hadn't downloaded and installed the MegaAVR boards package, but I have now. Subsequently, in Device Manager, there is one com port, called "mEDBG Virtual Com Port (Com5)", and it didn't have this title before. Also, under the tools menu, I now have Port: COM5 (arduino Uno WiFi Rev2). But unfortunately I still have the sync error , resp=0x00.
