UNO not connecting to Pc.

Development Tools Uploading
1

Hi all. Looking for advice.
I bought and received an Arduino UNO (chipset MEGA328P, picture at bottom)) but i'm having trouble getting it to connect to the cloud sketch page or upload the basic 'blink' sketch via the desktop IDE program.

I've updated the driver(It did this automatically) and restarted the PC just as a matter of routine after installing new hardware and software.

I'm not quite sure what board i should be selecting in the DT IDE as the chipset and board design are different from the standard images that i can see.

The LED's on the board flash red on PIN 13 and i cant see this board anywhere on the Arduino web site.

When i try to upload the 'blink' sketch i get the following error msg;

Arduino: 1.8.9 (Windows Store 1.8.21.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila, ATmega328P"

Sketch uses 930 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 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.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Admittedly i bought this board and extra's from inventr.io but i believe it's genuine.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Ps, I'm a complete newbie at this and have only started recently to teach my self C++. I learn some BASIC language some 25 years ago in school.

It's indeed an Arduino Uno clone, not a real Uno. Select Uno to program.

And last time I tried Windows did not auto install drivers for the CH340 so you need to download them:

Yes, Chinese site for a Chinese clone :slight_smile:

Ok so it seems i've been had. Thanks for the help. I'll buy an Uno from the Arduino store like i should have done in the first place.

Nothing wrong with using clones. But just call them that and if you want to support Arduino just make a donation :wink:

As i said i'm new to all of this and had no idea this was a clone board. I have since purchased an UNO from the Arduino site and await its delivery!

Did you try selecting "Arduino/Genuino Uno"? That seems like a much more logical choice than "Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila, ATmega328P", considering it says "Uno" right there on the board.
