programming Arduino Uno R3 via USB

[peterhalloway]

Hi we have arduino here and I have an arduino uno R3 connected via USB but I cannot program it. Can you please help with any drivers/settings I may need so I can pass this on to our IT department.

Thank you

Hello Peter.
It is best to have the Uno connected to the USB before running Flowcode.
When you connect the USB, does a new com port open in the device manager?
If it does, within Build, Project options of Flowcode you will need to select the Uno's com port from the drop-down which is on the bottom right side.

It can't be left as n/a!
If you have the dip version the windows built-in drivers should work.
What type do you have?
I believe the R3 is DIP?
For non-dip and for the clones are CH340 drivers
For the older non-clones are FTDI drivers
