HELP!

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hii all,

i got an arduino uno and i have a problem. I tried pretty much everything and i can't figure out why it doesn't work.

Here is the problem. When i connect my arduino to my computer the on light goes on and the L (i believe it's led) starts blinking very fast and has a very low light. When i open my arduino software i tried to insert a blank code and here is the thing i don't get. I got this code

Probleem bij het uploaden naar het board. Zie http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload voor suggesties.

I did check if the board was connected right, if i got the right port and all the settings i checked. I checked the cable itself (not the problem, cause on another arduino uno it does work), i checked if it were my usb ports (also was not it cause on another arduino it works normally).

I'm kind of out of options here. Someone please help me!!

Which OS are you running on your computer? Say it is Windows or GNU/Linux, if you remove your arduino, the serial port should disappear from the list of ports. Does it do that?

I have a MacBook pro and i'm working in iOS 10.10 latest update. I also updated my arduino software to the latest version.

And when i remove it, it dissapears from the list

OK, I've heard of the Mac OSX 10.x may give you two serial ports per each arduino, one for incoming and one for outgoing. When you remove your arduino, does one or two ports disappear? If two disappear, try selecting the other one. My newer mac is on repair. Can't test this theory. Any other Mac users?

Arduino used to show both the /dev/cu.xxxxxx name and the /dev/tty.xxxxxx name and either of them could be used. The current Arduino IDE only shows the /dev/cu.xxxxxxx name to avoid confusion.

Try a different USB cable and a different USB port on the MacBook Pro.
