I have a problem. I have arduino uno r3 clone. It is not recognised by my Windows 7 ultimate computer. I have done every thing. I downloaded ch340g driver and try to update driver from device manager but none helped me. I have also tried to upload program from android but this time I also failed. Do u think can i upload program in Windows 8. Plz reply me
I have re installed driver ch340g, tried a different usb cable too and bought another uno clone but still I can't upload program plz help me
Can u add clone drivers to your IDE in your new update this will help us plz help me
Do you see anything new show up in Device Manager after you plug the clone's USB cable into your computer?
No, I have only found unknown device and I tried to update it but I failed if any other query about this plz tell me
Thanks
That was a very vague answer. Does an unknown device show up in Device Manager after you plug in the clone?
Sorry sir but it is true I have only found other devices and when I clicked in it I get unknown device section I have also uninstalled it and tried to replug the clone in but this also I have found same.
I'll ask again:
Does an unknown device show up in Device Manager after you plug in the clone?
This question requires a "yes" or "no" answer.
Yes sir
We need to know which USB chip your clone uses. The chip is the largest black chip near to the USB jack on the board. There will be some writing on it that identifies it. The most common will say either CH340 or MEGA16U2, but there are some other less common chips.
Sir I have found a square chip near usb jack with written MEGA16U2
That 16U2 should work out of the box. No need for the CH340 driver
Does the unknown device in device manager show a VID and PID when you go to its properties? If so, which one.
Sir I don't know what is VID and PID but I'll try your suggestions
VID and PID are numbers that identify the manufacturer and model of a USB device. Here's how you can find the VID and PID of a USB device in Device Manager:
- Open Device Manager
- Double click on the unknown device.
- Click on the "Details" tab.
- From the "Property" dropdown menu, select "Hardware Ids"
The "Value" field will now display the VID and PID. For example:
USB\VID_2341&PID_0042&REV_0001
USB\VID_2341&PID_0042
We can see that the VID of this device is 2341 (that's Arduino's VID) and the PID is 0042 (that's the PID of the Arduino/Genuino Mega).
Sir I have found it
VID-2341
PID-0043
That VID/PID indicates that you have an Uno with the ATmega16U2 USB to TTL serial adapter chip.
It means i have to download atmega16u2 driver
If yes can you please give me the link of best driver.
The Arduino IDE comes with the driver. It's in the drivers subfolder of the Arduino IDE installation folder.
Can you give me the steps to find it
Thanks
If you have a shortcut (perhaps in your Start menu) you use to start the Arduino IDE, right click on it and then click "Properties". The path to the Arduino IDE installation folder will be shown in the "Target" field.
Drivers are not installing plz check about it.
If drivers can't be downloaded in my pc so is there any way that I can download drivers from web.
Thank you
My computer is 32 bit system please help me
Waiting for your reply
