Upload to an arduino board. I want to use usb. Please, advise

#1

I am putting together a small robot and want to use mbot language and a Nano arduino. I do not see a usb connection in the connect dropdown window. Please, advise

#2

Make sure that the USB is connected (duh) and the drivers for that board are installed (the serialport driver) AND the board has to be powered on if it has a switch. I’d suspect you don’t have the serial port driver installed but any of these could be the issue.

#3

I did install the Arduino driver using the command shown in the mbot dropdown window. Where do it find the serial driver? Do I need both? Thank you so much for trying to help me. My last question is:When I have both drivers, do i click on serial connect in the window or what?

#4

the mbot driver is for mbot, nbot is an UNO based board. It is possible that they are compatible but I don’t really know anything about the Nano boards.

#5

The nano is a 328 duemilanova compatible. I have an UNO board and will try that. I will let you know.

Can you connect your nano using Arduino IDE?
Probably you have to install a driver for the CH340 USB chip of your nano board (download link).
I do not have any problem with my nano in Mblock.
I think that the driver in the dropdown menu in Mblock is for Makeblock boards, not for nano.
