Hi @jakeepoo. Do you see any ports listed if you click the ▼ icon on the right side of the board selector menu:

Which operating system are you using (e.g., "Windows")?

I ask because I would like to give you the appropriate instructions for your operating system.

Please try this experiment and report the results:

  1. Connect your Arduino board to your computer with the USB cable.
  2. Press and release the reset button on the Arduino board.

Do you see the LED marked "L" on the board pulse after doing that?

@ptillisch yes it blinked yellow

Please try this experiment and then report your results in a reply on this forum thread:

:exclamation: NOTE: These instructions will not solve the problem. They are only intended to gather more information about the problem.

  1. Open the Windows Device Manager.
  2. Select View > Devices by type from the Device Manager menus.
  3. Open the "View" menu.
  4. If there is a ✓ to the left of the "Show hidden devices" menu item, click on "Show hidden devices" to disable it.
  5. Connect your Arduino board to your computer with the USB cable.
  6. Press and release the reset button on the Arduino board.
  7. Immediately select Action > Scan for hardware changes" from the Device Manager menus.
    :exclamation: You must perform this step soon after the previous step because the effect of the reset only lasts for a short time.
    If you weren't able to perform it quickly, you can repeat the procedure.
  8. Watch for a new device to appear under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of the Device Manager tree.

Please reply here to let us know whether you saw a new device appear in the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of the Device Manager tree for a short time after you performed those instructions.

You can repeat steps 5-6 multiple times if you are not sure.

I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

  1. Start Arduino Create Agent if it is not already running.
  2. Click the Arduino logo icon in your system tray (AKA "notification area" on Windows).
    A menu will open.
  3. Select "Open Debug Console" from the menu.
    This should open the "Arduino Create Agent Debug Console" in your browser.
  4. Open Arduino Web Editor in your browser:
    https://create.arduino.cc/editor
  5. Switch back to the "Arduino Create Agent Debug Console" browser tab.
  6. Click the EXPORT LOG button at the bottom right corner of the "Arduino Create Agent Debug Console" window.
    A file named "agent-log.txt" will now download to your computer.
  7. Open the downloaded "agent-log.txt" file in any text editor.
  8. Press Ctrl+A to select all the text.
  9. Press Ctrl+C.
    This will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
  10. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  11. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar:
    Code tags icon on toolbar
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the output is correctly formatted.
  12. Press Ctrl+V.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
  13. Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
  14. Click the Reply button to post the output.
