I have purchased an Arduino kit - on the box it calls itself the "Arduino Starter Kit". On the base of the Arduino board, it calls itself the Arduino Uno R3.
I am working with a Chromebook.
I have created an account on the Arduino web editor; I have connected - using the supplied USB cable - the Arduino to the Chromebook.
I have selected the Arduino Uno in the drop down to select the board (there is no option for Arduino Uno R3).
The board is NOT connecting to the editor/Chromebook (there is a red cross indicating no connection).
Does anyone have any suggestions, please, for options here ?
Does your Uno (R3) show up in the device manager for the Chromebook, or command line dmesg if Linux? The instructions seem to be exactly what you have done...
My Chromebook is a personal/individual one. From what I understand the "device manager" is only applicable if your Chromebook is attached to a wider 'enterprise' or 'education' account - mine is not.
So I have not made any progress with understanding if the Uno R3 shows up in the device manager.
I have recently done a complete power wash on my Chromebook to reset it to factory settings.
I may - rather reluctantly - have to go down the route of using Linux on my Chromebook to achieve communication with my Uno.
Which errors do you get? Is the Arduino an genuine Uno with 16U2 TTL-to-USB converter or a clone with another chip (e.g. CH340).
Seeing that you have posted about 5 months ago about the same problem. I assume that this problem is actually an old issue (Connecting Arduino Uno and Chromebook). If so, why did you start a new topic?
Please see the image of the device which I have purchased - labelled "Starter Kit". I can identify the microprocessor, but cannot identify the TTL-USB converter.
I have - as I resorted to in January - made use of the Arduino IDE within te Linux partition fo my Chromebook. I have made the assumption that the Web Editor is no use to me.
