In reply to Golfman. Completely understand Golfman. Now it's like waiting for Christmas 'till your shiny new Arduino shows up in the mailbox.

I just bit the bullet and ordered a new UNO. All is well now (except for the wife asking why I needed it). Need/want doesn’t translate well to her when it comes to projects. We need bread and I need an arduino….

Ha or not! Love that SNL sketch btw. I knew an IT guy just like that.

In reply to Golfman.

I’ve often found COM ports to be somewhat fickle. For instance: when writing this blog post at one point the Arduino IDE wouldn’t recognize the Arduino pictured — I ended up rebooting the computer (it’s a Mac) and the Arduino IDE saw the Arduino after reboot. Perhaps a late night COM communication research deep dive is in order?!

I have an arduino UNO connected to my windows 8 pc with the software downloaded but it won’t see the darn com port. I hate that version of windows! Finally moved to another PC and it appeared right away.
