In this case, the error appeared on a Linux when trying to upload code due to the drivers not being installed and the root permissions. 2 42.6K This article shares the 5 best ways to get the updated CH340 driver for Windows 11/10 downloaded and installed. language:bashĪvrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyUSB0": No such file or directory You may receive an avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device error similar to the output shown below. If you installed the drivers for the CH340 on your computer but have issues connecting via serial terminal or uploading code using the Arduino IDE, there may be an issue with your user settings preventing you from using the CH340. COM Port Not Available Windows, Mac, and Linux Users seem to be able to eventually get the board recognized by a combination of giving the computer time to finish the install ( close to 20 min), plugging the board back in multiple times, reinstalling the drivers, and/or resetting the computer multiple times ( repeat both steps). Others have had issues where the installation process hangs.īased on the customer experiences, this might be specific to the manufacturer and are usually isolated cases. Step 2: Download the driver, unzip it and run installer. However, the board cannot be accessed on the Arduino IDE. In this article you will find Arduino Nano CH340 Drivers as well as I will walk you through the. We have had a few reports on Windows 10 where the driver will automatically install and the board will show up under a new COM port as USB-Serial CH340, but with a different device name. I checked in Device Manager and it did not appear there.Troubleshooting COM Port is Not Showing Up as CH340 Windows The results were as follows:Īfter klicking on the “Install” button, the below message appears - as if the driver was already(?!) installed. I downloaded the driver and tried to install it as shown in many youtube videos. I discovered that I do not have CH340 driver and I suspect this is indispensable for the communication between Lightburn and Arduino. When I klicked on the “Start” button just to provocate the software to do some motion, the error message was “There was a problem sending data to the laser. I experimented with Machine Settings, but received the message: “Communication with controller failed”. I wanted to see the stepper motor moving - to see if “at least something” is happening. I wanted to test the correct installation and setup of Lightburn (UGS also tried).


I am building my own laser cutting machine, which is controlled by Arduino. Essence of my problem is that Lightburn (and other similar software, like UGS) fails to communicate with Arduino.
