You are not alone, WAVGAT or WVACAT boards (depends which side of the screen print you are reading!) are not standard clones and the extra software just created new issues for me, see this thread: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=542030.0
Very cheap but best avoided.
Clones have reached a level of build quality that is as good as the real thing and in terms of voltage tolerances for the input it has surpassed the real things. I have both real and clones and have not had any real issues with either apart from one of the really new UNO clones that has the micro connector which are prone to literally falling off the board.
They are usually a yellowish / brown colour so pretty easy to spot.
(1) I downloaded file from CH341 (the manufacturer) site, but could not follow the step
Paste content to the following path on your computer...
C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Arduino
(2) I manually transferred the files to Arduino Library folder. I was hesitant too, to fiddle with administrator function for a clone board.
(3) During my hit or miss attempts, I was successful, when I selected (Tools>Board>Arduino Dumilanove or Diecemila).
(4) The board uses two 12 mHz crystals. When I run blink (without delay function), the cycle time is about eight seconds instead of twp seconds.
(5) Another problem is that the analogRead function behave abnormally. The value spans 1500-1600(more than 1023, and values keep on changing even in steady state.
(I am new in the field, and will have to experiment/compare with my other Arduino boards)

same problem here, but with the above procedure was able to connect (not sure if there are hidden issues yet...).
Only minor annoyance (*) is that in Tools / Boards it shows both "Arduino AVR Boards" for Arduino and for WAVGAT.
Please, any idea on how and where to amend it?
Also, by the way, why are there two different folder (WAV and WAV8F) in hardware folder of update zip file?
Thanks and best regards,
Aingeru
(*) => after realising "Compatible Arduino UNO R3" in reality means "Not-100%-Compatible Arduino UNO R3", but in any case my fault for choosing cheap...
im new to arduino and coding.im facing the same problem with WAVGAT UNO R3 board.ive followed all the instructions and read all the post about WAVGAT UNO R3 boards but it seems that this board is having the worst problem.here is the warnings ive encounter and i cant solve it.
Warning: platform.txt from core 'Arduino AVR Boards' contains deprecated recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{build.path}/{archive_file}" "{object_file}", automatically converted to recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}". Consider upgrading this core.
any suggestions about this.im not as good in coding.thank you
Hi, I have tried to use the arduino package from the google drive link, but some functions do not work, like serial print of a floating point variable.
My board as one 12Mhz crystal near the USB chip and a 16MHz near the microntroler chip.
I have looked in the board.txt that came with the package and it list the chip used as an LGT8FX8P even if on the chip itself it is written Atmel Atmega328P.
