I’m physical hands-on tech savvy, not so much in software. I’m having issue with updating firmware. The “COM” port isn’t listed on my list to choose from. Thought the usb connection would have done the deal when I was connected to electronics but not so much… any ideas?

Are you looking for in on your computer? Or in the Arduino software? Etc. Also, what are you running? Mac/PC etc.

I’m looking for port setting in Arduino and running off of my Mac OX. Working on calibration and can’t get the gears to turn…
On the Mac, make sure that Tools/Board is “Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega2560”, and the Port will the one that contains “Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega2560”, something like “/dev/cu.usbmodem14101 Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega2560”.
If the firmware programms successfully, quit the Arduino program (to free up the port) and run GC; in Actions/Ports look for /dev/tty.usbmodem14101, use ‘UpdateList’ if you don’t see it. Click /dev/tty.usbmodem14101 and then click the ‘Connect’ button.

Thanks for responses. After updating firmware and re-installing Ground Control. Checking the connections and choosing correct port. And doing this over and over… problem came down to a faulty power cord running to the A/C adapter. Everything is up and running!

Glad you got it going! Keep up the good work and no worries I had a number of incidences where I over analyzed and then it was something simpler haha. But in the end that is a good thing!
