So I ran into a problem with my project. I uploaded code onto it once and it worked fine. But after some use, I started running into problems. Whenever I try to upload code onto the board, it gives me a UART error. It's like the computer is not even sensing the board is there, I get the same error when I remove the board from the computer, and try to upload the code onto the board with the board detached.
I have a hunch that this is not a software issue, but I would really love some guidance on where to start troubleshooting. And is there a thorough guide somewhere to trouble shoot hardware?

That encourages people to cross-post (which OP did).
You could have told OP to ask a moderator to move it.
There is a "Report to moderator" link in every post.
Leo..
Sorry about the rule breaks, I will be careful to follow the rules next time. And thanks for the help thus far.
I tried the blink sketch, and it gave me this error:
Arduino: 1.8.3 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
Sketch uses 928 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
