Hello All
I am trying to upload the Blink to my new Arduino Ueno R3 board. I am using a surface pro3 with the latest Windows 10. I have the correct board selected, the correct port selected.
Arduino: 1.6.6 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
Sketch uses 1,030 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\.\COM1": The system cannot find the file specified.
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"
enabled in File > Preferences.
Is the error I get.
Totally new to all of this would like any help I can get.
"COM1" is the default when no serial port is selected. Use Tools->Port to select the correct serial port for your board. If your board does not appear in the list of serial ports you may need to install a driver.
"Com3" is the port it is using. I can see it in the control panel in ports. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times. I am going to try it on my old Windows 7 laptop. However, I was really hoping to use my surface.
Any other suggestions?
If it is using COM3 why does the error message say avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM1": The system cannot find the file specified.
Go to Preferences and turn on verbose upload logging. Maybe one of the log messages will say why it is getting a COM1 error when you select COM3.

You still need to select COM3 in the Arduino IDE. Yes, Windows know it is on COM3. Tell the Arduino software that! Go to Tools->Port in the IDE and select COM3.
