Im noobie in this world.
I bought the arduino uno and i try to install with my linux (xubuntu) but i can't the arduino show me that msg:
Serial port com 1 not found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port menu, BUT this option is not activated in that menu.
i did a lot of thinks like this:
$ sudo usermod -a -G tty seuUsuario
$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout seuUsuario
and like this:
simbolic link
/dev/ttyACM0 to /dev/ttyUSB0
and nothing!
The first thing you need to know is that you're using an extremely outdated version of the Arduino IDE that was modified in unspecified ways by some 3rd party. This is because you used apt install arduino to install the Arduino IDE. You should never do that. Please remove that outdated thing and install the real Arduino IDE downloaded from this website:
The next thing to understand is that COM1 is the default port of the outdated Arduino IDE. So if you have never selected anything from the Tools > Port menu, it will automatically try to use COM1. That's pretty silly on a Linux system that doesn't name serial ports this way. That issue has been fixed in the modern Arduino IDE.
So after you install the new Arduino IDE, make sure to select the port of your Arduino board from the Tools > Port menu and don't worry when you don't see a "COM1" on the menu.
man, another few hours (and some mistakes) I did what you say and it finally worked, thank you
You're welcome. I'm glad to hear it's working now. Enjoy!
