Arduino Mega 2560 not detected when connected to USB port. 1 Restarting Windows. 2 Pressing Reset button on the device. 3 Switching to other USB ports on my computer. 4 Using different cables (including the one that works with my printer).

What kind of serial port does Arduino Mega use?

What we are doing in this code is calling on the Arduino Mega’s default UART Serial port by calling Serial.begin at a 9600 baud speed rate. This is going to listen to the Computer for instructions through the USB cable.

Why is my Arduino Mega not connecting to USB?

Here are some suggestions for you to test it. 1.The USB cables you used may be damaged. Please test the cables to see whether the cables work. 2.Change other USB ports to have a try. Sometimes, the problem is caused by the power supply which is not enough. Pls make sure the input voltage is 5V if it is connected with USB port.
