Serial Monitor will not connect or change baud rate

I am currently working through a book on coding Arduino, and in chapter 5 it gets into Serial Monitor.
Background: I have 2 clone UNO boards, using IDE 2.3.6, on Win10 64, sketches have been working on boards and loading without problems (other than human error). The IDE connects with my boards and loads sketch without issue.

Have been seeing "CLI Daemon Offline" on the bottom of the screen (do not know what that is), and now, when attempting to connect Serial Monitor I get "Not connected. Select a board and port to connect automatically."

Have been searching and reading for days to find the solution. Have read forum for related issues, have not seen this particular issue yet in the forum. Have tried reboot of IDE, reboot of PC, uninstall of IDE x2, reinstall FDTI Driver, CH340 driver, cleaning of registry prior to reinstall (last install).

I am somewhat new to Arduino and IDE, have some knowledge of electronics, attempting to gain knowledge in both fields (yet it is confusing at times, I do get it sorted) to become proficient and build some of my ideas. Coding is just a hobby at this point that may become something more once I become more confident with it.

I have seen there are many here that are very knowledgeable and willing to help. I understand that working with someone new to a subject can be difficult ( I am a Master Automotive Tech and have trained new personnel) and have seen that there are many ways to code with similar outcome, and discussions of this that can be confusing for someone that has little knowledge of the matter. Please keep in mind that I am the one with little knowledge and attempting to learn. Keeping instructions simple to get the meaning across will really help. Later the deeper meaning may make more sense to me.

For now, I would like to get the Serial Monitor to function with my clone boards ( I have an original Arduino Uno coming, yet would like to get this issue resolved).

Thank you all in advance for your consideration and any help you can lend.

Also have attempted to change baud rate in Serial Monitor, it will not budge from 9600. The drop down is there, yet will not allow a change to occur.

Make sure You only have one IDE window open.
Restart the IDE.
Never seen that problem myself.

Did you do that? It should look similar to the following.

In IDE 2.x you can't change the Serial Monitor parameters unless it is actually connected to something. You need to have the correct port selected in Tools -> Port.

I have not seen that "CLI Daemon Offline" message problem myself either, but it might be related to proxy settings. Its not quite the same problem, but it might be worth clearing the Yaml file as per this link:

CLI Configuration error

Or perhaps first just try changing the port as suggested here:

https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/158

Maybe something is hogging the same port as was the case in that issue?

Unless your computer is behind a proxy, you might start by checking File -> Preferences then the Network tab to make sure there is nothing in there that shouldn't be. It should be set to No Proxy and all fields should be blank. If that looks good, then have a look at the Yaml file.

Sorry, I just realised I have listed those steps bit in reverse!

Having a Serial Monitor open while trying to upload a sketch might result in comm port contention.

See post #3.

Only one instance of IDE, have re-started IDE, re-booted Windows, uninstall IDE, re-install IDE in safe mode to eliminate interference... nothing seems to correct it. However, the "CLI Daemon Offline" is now gone after re-install in safe mode.

Yes, the board has been connected all along. UNO Com4 in my case.

BitSeeker,

My PC is personal, at home, no proxy. CLI error has been cleared when I deleted and re-installed the IDE in safe mode. It was suggested to me that Anti Virus soft ware could block some files on install...
And do not see anything on com4 other than my Uno board.

xfpd,

I am a little confused, do you mean the window at the bottom of the IDE?

xfpd,

Just turned off the Serial Monitor window and reloaded my sketch, same thing.
I am willing to try anything (almost, a sledge hammer is out) to get this to connect.

One of those windows is the Console (open or close is okay), the other is the Serial Monitor (close when uploading another sketch).

Sometimes when I change to another board or another sketch, I get errors when uploading. I first close my Serial Monitor, then stop and re-start the IDE. I also make the mistake of using a power-only USB cable, so even though I "know" I have a good cable, I get a "data" cable (labeled).

Also check:
IDE >> TOOLS >> BOARD >> AVR BOARDS >> your board
IDE >> TOOLS >> PORT >> your port
IDE >> TOOLS >> PROCESSOR >> your processor... and if using CH340, OLD BOOTLOADER

sonofcy,

Yes have been in this window and made sure the connection is correct. In my case UNO and comm4. Just checked it again, incase I missed something before... same thing. I read a post that the clone boards can use a CH340 chip and would require a different driver. Have searched and found drivers, have not had any success with that either.

xfpd,

Have checked board and port. Not seeing Processor in tools menu though.

Can you make a screenshot like this?

xfpd

There is no processor option when selecting Uno.

Hi @riverrunner06. I'm going to ask you to provide some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.


:red_exclamation_mark: This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.


Please do this:

  1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
    All Arduino IDE windows will close.
  2. Start Windows "File Explorer".
  3. Open the Arduino IDE installation folder.
    The default installation location is at one of the following paths:
    • C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE
      
    • C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE
      
      (where <username> is your Windows username)
      :red_exclamation_mark: If looking for it with your file manager or command line, note that the AppData folder is hidden by default. On Windows "File Explorer", you can make it visible by opening the "View" menu, then checking the box next to "☐ Hidden items".
  4. In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold the Shift key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.
    A context menu will open.
  5. Select "Open PowerShell window here" from the menu.
    Windows PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino IDE installation folder.
  6. Type the following command in the PowerShell window:
    & ".\Arduino IDE"
    
  7. Press the Enter key.
    Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as Arduino IDE starts.
  8. Wait for Arduino IDE to finish starting.
  9. Confirm the problem of the "CLI Daemon Offline" and "Not connected. Select a board and port to connect automatically." messages is present.
  10. Switch back to the PowerShell window.
  11. Press the Ctrl+Shift+A keyboard shortcut.
    This will select all the text in the PowerShell window.
  12. Press the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut.
    This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard.
  13. Open a reply here on this forum topic by clicking the "Reply" button.
  14. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
  15. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
  16. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  17. Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.

Please let us know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

Although I've not had this issue for a Uno, I have done so for Nano clones.

I eventually got my Nanos to upload, error message free, only after installing an old CH340 driver. But it was essential to then ensure it could not get restored by succeeding W10 updates.

ptillisch,
