First time Arduino

[mnfisher]

The micro is 'trickier' to program.

When you first connect it - there is a brief period where one COM port is available for programming.. Then this closes and a second COM port opens. You need to set FC to the first COM port - open the program options screen, plug in and select...
Then - using the reset button will allow the board to be programmed.

Yes, I tried.........I also have the Nano here, with which the following error message comes up:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

avrdude.exe: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude.exe: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

avrdude.exe: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude.exe: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

but here the name of the Arduino is not displayed in brackets, only (USB Serial Port)

Can you see the Nano (or the Micro) in Windows Device Manager? (Or does it show as an 'unknown' device?)

Note that Chinese clones need a different driver to 'originals'

Also try the 115200 'variant' - if the board has the newer bootloader (the older uses 57600 baud)

The micro shows up in the manager, the nano doesn't!

where can I set the baud? can not even change the clock frequency in FC10?

[medelec35]

I don't know if the hardware has been changed since I got my Nano as the device manager shows:

Device Manager Nano.png (1.8 KiB) Viewed 2591 times

My Nano has a CH340C chip on the underside of the board, does yours?
The CH340 drivers can be downloaded from this post

[mnfisher]

If it doesn't show up then something is wrong and Windows not recognising it..

The drivers are at http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_ZIP.html

Martin beat me to it - and drivers 'on site'

FDTI CH26732C1 on the bottom, I recently ordered the two Arduinos on the Arduino site

The problem is that the programming doesn't work with the Micro either, although it is displayed correctly in the Device Manager!?

[medelec35]

For the Nano, have you tried the drivers from this site?
If it still does not work, I can order the same versions as you for testing.

[Xbeejunior]

Yes I have now installed the VCP driver, but the Nano is not displayed!

That would be great if you do that, can I help towards the cost?

What about the displayed license keys in the compiler messages, is that a problem if you didn't delete it before publishing? So it's a free version, but still...

I haven't checked that yet, I have yet to find out.....what do you mean with the first COM port, COM1?
