Not sure why the simple project is not working

Projects Programming

Hello,

I am still trying to learn more about Arduino and having issues getting a project working.

I am following video below on youtube

Its a simple project where you press a button and led turns on and when you press the button again led turns off.

I am using an Elegoo Uno R3 and following all the steps and connection on the video. However, it is not working.

I am using Arduino 1.8.12 IDE and the "L" light for the uno stays on when I power the Uno. I even changed the pin for the led from 12 to 11. Still the same.

Also when I try and use the serial monitor. It shows me that there is a serial monitor, but I cannot access it.

Same as the link below

I tried to follow the solution that "simmoinard" found for the same issue in the above link. But its still not working.

This question should be in the programming forum.

Show us a good schematic of your circuit.
Show us a good image of your wiring.
Give links to components.

Use CTRL T to format your code.
Attach your ‘complete’ sketch between code tags, use the </> icon in the posting menu.
[code]Paste your sketch here[/code]

The L LED is pin 13 not 12.

Hi,But the video LEDpin is 8,not 12 or 11.
check UNO to wiring. :o

Yet you can upload to the board without issue? Does pressing the reset button give you the "triple blink" on the L led?

What do you mean about the serial monitor not working? Can you be more specific? Do you get an error message or what?

Is the code provided by Youtube video or using available example code?

I suggest you to try the example code provided in the Arduino IDE first.
