The serial communication is built in support provided with all. What I tried but didn't work: Restarting many times, installing a dodgy Chinese USB driver called CH34x, then removing it, restarting several times again, installing FTDI driver, restarting, removing it, restarting, I tried a different USB cable, I tried using an old version of Arduino, as well as the newest version. Serial communications allow you to connect two different devices sending and receiving data between them. Select Arduino Pro or Pro Mini as board type. Be sure to use the following settings and then select the COM port the Pro Mini is on. Once the adapter is connected, the board will program as normal using the Arduino IDE.
#ARDUINO SERIAL PORT SETTINGS MINI UPDATE#
I did not update anything whatsoever since it last worked. Some adapters come with a female header and can be plugged directly into the Pro Mini. This chip allows to convert USB to a standard serial signal. The Arduino Nano has an FTDI chip (driver) installed on the board. Rather than making a circuit on a PCB, I preferred a mini. A serial monitor, which is a part of the Arduino software, provides for textual data to be sent to and from the Arduino Board.
#ARDUINO SERIAL PORT SETTINGS MINI INSTALL#
Go to the Windows Device Manager to install it manually. Hold the reset button on pro-mini while upload the code. When using our TFT display we expected the controlling program to send a big burst of serial data initially to set various configuration settings on the screen and to.

Set the board into Arduino Pro or Pro Mini at Tools\ Board. Arduino Serial Port Buffer Size Mod Whilst developing the software for our Arduino based Serial Graphic TFT Display a problem with transmitting too much data at once occured. Make sure the port you use correctly by clicking at Tools\ Port. If the Arduino is not visible on the COM port, it is probably that the CH340 converter driver is not (correctly) installed. Then, plugin the USB cable to computer and open the Arduino Software. The Arduino IDE can't see the USB Serial port The Arduino Mega 2560 Pro Mini is not visible on the COM port. To check, read the text on the microcontroller (the larger chip) on your Arduino board. I'm seeing many solutions to this online but they're often very old (from 2015) and suggesting I install some new USB FTDI or whatever drivers, which sounds like quite a harsh thing to start with. Also, newer Arduino Duemilanove boards come with an ATmega328, while older ones have an ATmega168. I had the same issue, except now, no matter how many times I reboot, the USB port is still missing.

I rebooted my computer and it returned, and all was well. Things have been working just fine for the past several years but a few days ago the USB port simply disappeared from the Arduino port menu. I'm on a 16" MacBook Pro, trying to program an ATtiny 85 through an Arduino diecimila. Thank you all for helping me troubleshoot, it was with your tips that I came to the conclusion that this must be a hardware fault on the Arduino side. So the problem was that my old Arduino simply died. EDIT: So I bought a new Arduino Uno and guess what, it works.
