My device manager can see my Arduino board at COM7. However the only ports available in my IDE is 1,3, and 4. I tried to move the arduino to other ports but it always display COM7.
Can't upload a single project because of this. Thanks in advance for help
What do you see when you use tools → board and tools → port in the IDE? Can you select the correct board and port there?
I've moved your topic to the dedicated IDE2.0 section of the forum.
thank you for moving it. This is my first time posting in this forum and I am quite not sure on how these tags work.
Answering your question, this is what I see on port section
I think that this selection is not right. The correct procedure is to see first in the Device Manager which Virtual COM Port has been allocated for the Arduino UNO and then select the same in the IDE.
Device manager does see it. So there must be something else wrong.
Hi @gyssrael. If you select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus and then start the IDE again, does the port now show up in the menu?
Have aread through this https://theitbros.com/how-to-delete-com-ports-in-use/.
go to the section " Reset COM Ports Using the Registry Editor" , be brave remove all the COM/LPT ports. When you plug each of your boards in they will be "re-discovered"
While you are at it, get your self a copy of this https://helmpcb.com/software/serial-port-monitor, really handy utility
