im quite new to this stuff, so im not sure if this might be a possibilitie for the issue but i've downloaded the libraries for the servo, new ping, and Adafruit motor shield library as asked in the video. if anyone could help me out in what might be the issue i would be reallly thankfully
The IDE did not find the Arduino board connected to the COM3 port. Make sure it is there, connected with a data cable (some USB cables only connect power, not data). Reinitialize the Arduino IDE.
What kind of Arduino are you using? Is it original, or maybe chinese? Not that these are necessarily bad, but they may need a special driver installed in your computer.
Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.
Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.
In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.
There were some previous reports of this "can't set com-state for ..." error occurring specifically when uploading to the boards that use the WCH CH340 USB chip (and apparently only specific batches of those chips). The problem only occurs when using the latest version of the CH340 driver.
The affected users have reported that doing a "roll back" to an older version of the driver was an effective workaround. You can give that a try.
I'll provide instructions:
Open this tutorial from SparkFun in your browser: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ch340-drivers/all#drivers-if-you-need-them ⓘ We are using this tutorial as a source for an older version of the CH340 drivers. Generally I recommend only obtaining drivers from the manufacturer of the device, but WCH does not provide older versions of their drivers and SparkFun is trustworthy.
Click the "Windows (EXE)" link you see in red under the "Drivers (If You Need Them)" section of the tutorial.
Wait for the download to finish.
Run the downloaded CH341SER.EXE file.
A "User Account Control" dialog may now appear asking "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?". Click the "Yes" button.
A "DriverSetup(X64)" dialog will appear. Click the "INSTALL" button in the dialog.
Wait for the driver installation to finish, as indicated by the appearance of a "Driver install success!" dialog.
Click the "OK" button in the "Driver install success!" dialog.
Click the X icon at the top right of the "DriverSetup(X64)" dialog to close it.
Close Arduino IDE if it is running.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Select View > Devices by type from the Device Manager menus.
Open the "View" menu.
If there is a ✓ to the left of the "Show hidden devices" menu item, click on "Show hidden devices" to disable it.
Open the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of the Device Manager tree.
You should see a port identified as "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section (where "COMn" is some serial port e.g., COM4). Right click on that item.
The "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog will open.
Select the "Drivers" tab of the "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.
You will see a "Roll Back Driver" button in the dialog. If it is not clickable, perform the following instructions:
Click the "Update driver" button.
An "Update Drivers Device - USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" dialog will open.
Click on "Search automatically for drivers" in the "Update Drivers Device - USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" dialog.
You should now see the driver installation wizard update the driver. Wait for the update to finish, as indicated by the message "Windows has successfully updated your drivers" in the dialog. It is possible you will instead see the message "The best drivers are already installed". If so, please stop following the instructions here and reply on the forum thread to let me know. I'll provide alternative instructions you can follow.
Click the "Close" button in the "Update Drivers Device - USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn)" dialog.
Click the "Roll Back Driver" button in the "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.
The "Driver Package rollback" dialog will open.
Click the radio button next to "My apps don't work with this driver" in the "Driver Package rollback" dialog .
Click the "Yes" button.
Click the "Close" button in the "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COMn) Properties" dialog.
Now start Arduino IDE again and repeat whatever you were doing before when you encountered that error before. Hopefully this time you will not encounter that "can't set com-state" error during the sketch upload.
hi im having issues when uploading my code to my robot, im utilizing an arduino uno mini (wich i think might not be original,but im not sure) when uploading the code im getting the following error

if anyone could help with this error i would be really thankfully:)
in the arduino ide the only port im able to choose when i conect my arduino is COM3, on device manager it shows the usb cable name im using to conect the arduino to my laptop.
When using a Pro Mini, you need a serial-to-usb adapter; does your adapter use the CH340 chip?
There is (nowadays) a known issue with that CH340; advice is to roll back the driver. If you dig through these search results, you will find solutions; note that not everybody seems to have been successful in solving the problem.
I've moved your topic to a more suitable location on the forum.
I already warned you about cross-posting just yesterday. As promised, I have now given you a temporary account suspension due to your repeated cross-posting.
I hope that when you return to the forum you'll be more respectful of our community.
It is possible you will instead see the message "The best drivers are already installed". If so, please stop following the instructions here and reply on the forum thread to let me know. I'll provide alternative instructions you can follow.
