Why is my Arduino Uno not connecting to my computer?

First make sure your board is on (the green LED is on) and connected to the computer. The Arduino Uno and Mega 2560 may have trouble connecting to a Mac through a USB hub. If nothing appears in your “Tools > Serial Port” menu, try plugging the board directly to your computer and restarting the Arduino IDE.

What can cause Arduino to continuously restart?

7 Answers 7. An Arduino will reset when the usb port is reinitialized (read: usb cable replugged), and that could be due to the host computer sleeping, rebooting, or something else such as the whole usb controller restarting because another usb device was plugged in. Thank also to you.

What happens if the protection diode on Arduino fails?

If the protection diode fails by shorting out, it’s even worse because now the overvoltage is applied to the entire +5V supply on the Arduino. This means it will reach other components, like the USB interface chip, and destroy them too.

What do I need to troubleshoot my Arduino?

They include: the drivers for the board, the board and serial port selections in the Arduino software, access to the serial port, the physical connection to the board, the firmware on the 8U2 (on the Uno and Mega 2560), the bootloader on the main microcontroller on the board, the microcontroller’s fuse settings, and more.
