Doodle Bot using Arduino board problem

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

I am new to this so please excuse ignorance. I have completed the kit and installed the correct driver and arduino software. The instructions say to connect to a serial port COM49 but I only get 4 options which are 2 x Bluetooth, and 2 x wireless. I am on a Mac air book. Any assistance will be appreciated please. Thanks.

That website doesn't load for me. Does it load for you?

The serial port names will be different from one operating system to another and even from one computer to another. You will never get a port named "COM49" on macOS, and even Windows users would likely end up with a different number.

You can determine which port is your doodle bot by following this procedure:

  1. Unplug your Arduino board from the computer.
  2. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE's menus.
  3. Note the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
  4. Close the Tools menu. The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
  5. Plug your Arduino board into the computer.
  6. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE's menus. - The new port listed in the menu is your Arduino board.

If you don't see any port appear, then you will need to troubleshoot the problem. We can help out with that.
