Port grayed out under tools

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello!

I am really lost while trying to use my Arduino (pro mini) on a Windows 10 laptop. When trying to upload the project, the port is grayed out under tools port so I cannot upload it. When upgrading to the newer version of Arduino IDE message is that no port detected!!

What I tried:

  • Changed USB cable of arduino connected to laptop (just in case that would be a wire issue)

  • Tried to add port from device manager using drivers found in CH340 Drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux

  • Tried to add communication port on Windows device manager (as no port were installed and found under device manager)

Nothing works.... What should I tried. I really dont know what to do.

Any help is really appreciated.

A Pro Mini dies not have an TTL-to-USB converter.

So either you do not have a Pro Mini or you're using a TTL-to-USB converter that is not recognised.

Just in case:
If your board is a Pro Micro, you're probably using a charge-only cable that does not carry the data. Try different cables, e.g. those that come with cell phones to download files to a PC.

Thanks for sharing that with me.

It was drivers issue.... Solved it!
