Hello, I ordered an Arduino nano via aliexpress and just received it today. It looks fine, when I plug it in, the "POW" indicator turns on, and "L" below it is turning on / off.
Before that, I was using MEGA2560 and I decided to try the nano. Everything is just great with MEGA2560, it uses a COM9 port and my PC discovers it automatically. All sketches are being uploaded very smoothly and with no issues.
However when I plug in my new NANO - it provides me a COM6 port for whatever reason and when I try to upload the above-mentioned (perfectly working on MEGA2560) sketch - it gives me the following message:
avrdude: ser_open(): can't set com-state for "\\.\COM6"
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1
Is it a problem with... processor? programmer?? COM port?
When I ask for Board Info it says:
There are so many parameters so I have no idea what can be the problem.
It is extremely unlikely that that is a genuine ATmega328P Nano. You may have instead a counterfeit based on the LGT8F328P MCU, which will not not work as expected unless you install extra software.
You might have a charge only cable. Have you tried a different cable? Don't forget to answer #10. Are you sure you have "Nano" selected in the boards menu?
If you see errors in the Device manager, you might have an IC that requires serial drivers to be installed.
Or maybe you are still set up for "Mega" in the Board selection.
