Botboarduino not being recognized as COM port

I just recently bought a Botboarduino and tried hooking it up to my PC. However, the Arduino IDE is unable to detect it as a COM port. I’ve tried burning the bootloader (Arduino Duemilanove 328) and also manually updating the drivers, but every time Windows tells me that the device is already up to date even though it is listed as an Unknown Device in device manager. I have some other Arduino boards, also Duemilanove 328, and they have no problem being detected as COM ports.

Could anybody help me out? Thanks!

Hi wortywarrior,

Can you try to install the drivers that match your computer here:

The serial chip on the BotBoarduino is a FTDI chip.

Let us know… :slight_smile:
