Can't connect to UNO with Arduino IDE

Hi,

Just having a little trouble connecting to the Uno board , it powers up fine but I’m unable to connect to it with Arduino IDE

Thanks

Hamish

Hi Hamish, welcome to the forum!

Sorry to hear your UNO is giving you trouble!

First off, could you shoot us a picture of how you have everything hooked up? That’ll also allow us to confirm what revision of UNO you have.

Have you checked Device Manager to see whether your UNO appears under Ports (COM & LPT) when you plug it in?

Keen to get to the bottom of this for you!

Hi James
it’s not showing up on device manager.
