I got the board directly connected to my laptop via USB and Micro USB.
Downloaded the finder program and it cannot find the Board.
Power (POW) LED is on), Link? (L) LED is blinking... both red
Trying to connect a Arduino Nano do I need to make any changes? Im running Firefox
Saw in a search that a link to where I bought it would be helpful. I have attached it ---->
Your Nano derivative is not supported by Arduino IoT Cloud, so this is the expected and correct behavior. The only boards that can be used with Arduino IoT Cloud are listed on this page:
You can use Arduino Web Editor with your Nano derivative if you like:
First I apologize for ending up with a Generic board; not my intentions. Im new to all this.
I have been able to get the board to be picked up on the COM5 port. So I got it to communicate. How would I get a basic program uploaded for possible 3 stepper motors? I could add the ohms or limits as I go

No worries. If you find the Arduino software and documentation useful in your learning journey, perhaps you'll find a way to support the further development of these resources that benefit all Arduino users, such as by buying official Arduino products, an Arduino Create Maker plan, or by donating.
Either way, the forum members are here to provide assistance if you need it.
Just to be clear, even the official classic Arduino Nano is not supported by Arduino IoT Cloud. It's not a matter of Arduino excluding unofficial boards, it's simply that the Nano doesn't have the advanced networking capabilities needed for Arduino IoT Cloud.

I'm glad to hear it!

It looks like you created a dedicated forum topic for that subject:

Let's continue the discussion about the stepper motors there and keep this topic restricted to any further discussion about Arduino IoT Cloud.

Understood, my intentions of why I seperated the threads, but jumped the gun with the last question.
