For the past week I have been programming an arduino uno with a computer running windows 7. When I first started I found the device on Com 6 and was able to upload code no problem. Recently it suddenly stooped receiving code under the error:
Aug 15, 2015 Look for a 'USB Serial Port' in the Ports section; that's the Arduino board. When I opened the Widows Device Manager as instructed, I could not find a 'USB Serial Port' or the Ports section. Arduino board not detected when connected via USB. Ask Question. Up vote 5 down vote favorite. In the IDE it asks me to go to tools and select serial port but it is grayed out) arduino usb ide. Share| improve this question. Asked Mar 6 '13 at 15:58. Connect to Arduino Mega serial interface by C code.
Serial port 'COM6' not found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port menu?
The Serial port menu though is grayed out. Research has told me to open up device managers and update drivers but there is no other devices tab in my device manager. The arduino is run off the power of the usb cable and runs the code I uploaded a few days ago just fine. What can I do to be able to upload code to the arduino?
Update:
I installed the arduino software on another computer and it does not recognize the arduino either, one of the comments indicates that this could be a problem with the FTDI chip, how can I test if this is the case, and if it is can I fix it.
In gedit open /usr/share/applications/arduino.desktop file
change the line Exec=arduino to Exec=gksudo arduinosave the file.Similarly do for windows..
Arduino Serial Port Com1 Not Found
Also try to re- install arduino driver.

The Arduino probably started using a different port. When you plug Arduinos into a different USB port it sometimes defaults to a new COM port. Check your device settings for which ports are being used and try each of those. Also try plugging it into a different USB port (if no ports are displayed) and it should register with a new COM. If that fails reboot your machine and repeat the above. If that fails reinstall the Arduino USB driver and repeat above. https://intensiveinnovation465.weebly.com/jillian-michaels-30-day-shred-level-1-free-download.html. If that fails you might have fried your Arduino's USB chip (or some other hardware on the Arduino).
Install a new driver using this link, http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_MAC_ZIP.html.But after installing the driver, if it doesn't work, then change the cable.
