I try to plug run code from ardiuno into my redboard for the inventor’s kit. It gives me an error, but I get that same error when I unplug the micro usb from the redboard. Is this my ardiuno/computer acting up, or is it my micro usb port that’s broken??
What error are you receiving?
Arduino: 1.8.11 (Mac OS X), Board: “Arduino Uno”
Sketch uses 2878 bytes (8%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 236 bytes (11%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1812 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
avrdude: ser_open(): can’t open device “/dev/cu.usbserial-1410”: No such file or directory
This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File → Preferences.
Have you tried using multiple USB cables?
Yea just tried 4 different usb cables but still getting the same result. I think something is up w/ the micro usb input in my redboard. In all honesty I haven’t taken that good care of it
Could you provide a picture of the connector on the board?
Also, are you sure you’re selecting the correct serial port in Arduino?
What’s a serial port?? Also I can’t get the picture to work. Gonna try the battery jack one
Wait just realized can’t run code thru battery jack
Can we get your order number so that we can see exactly what kit you’re using?
Do you have access to a PC?
Yea i’ve been using my mac book air. Don’t have an order number cuz the kit came from my school, but it’s the inventor’s kit
1- Make sure you’ve installed the drivers for the RedBoard on your computer.
(See if you can get a PC, it’s MUCH easier to install drivers on a PC.)
2- You might try contacting your instructor to see if they have any instructions if you’re running into trouble.
3- Once you’ve installed the drivers, check the Tools/Port menu without the board plugged in and see what pops up. Then close out of that menu, plug the board back in and go back to Tools/Port. Whatever new item pops up, select that and try to upload a sketch.
How do i install the drivers?
Check the manual that came with your kit, details are in there.
