Arduino & Serial Programmer USB Error FIX! -CH340 Driver

How to fix your CH340 Arduino so the USB works!

If you get an error in device manager when you connect your Arduino or FTDI cable- you may have a different chip sometimes called a CH340. Windows does not currently automatically download the drivers for this so your component is not assigned a COM port.

Download the CH340 driver here and you will be all set:

Plug in your Arduino, FTDI cable, or other micro controller and run the exe. That's it! This problem seems to common on what people call the "Arduino clones" and "clone boards" but it actually has nothing to do with the source or board- it is purely the serial communication chip used. Easy fix!

YES!!! THIS WORKED!!! I had to go to the control panel to locate the device after I uploaded the driver because it still didn't work. I had to select COM4 instead of USB in the AVRDUDESS 2.4. It worked like a charm to flash my RC Rx. Thank you!

big hug from Spain.

Was stuck on the problem for like 2 hours trying to find the right solution but failed. Yours took me seconds. Cheers mate!

Words cannot describe how thankful I am to you at the moment!I've been trying to fix it for days and days and now it finally works!
Thank you so much!

Thank you! I've spent at least an hour before I stumbled upon this video. My driver chip has nothing written on it, only that driver worked.

Thanks so much! Spent almost an hour trying to install FTDI drivers, but this video got me up and running in minutes.

Saw you on show and tell. Been subbed for long time. Awesome grow chamber. I fixed my bricked nano months ago. Ftdi ruined their name. Lol glad you found out about the ch340.

If any one is still having trouble, make sure you use the *Old Bootloader* You can choose this under the processor tab.

I have been trying to fix my MFD AP updater for days, this worked straight away! Nice one, thanks so much. The download seems legit.

[maikie]

Helped me a lot thank u. The installation took about 5-6 minutes on mine, may come in handy for people with haste.

[Costronica]

[fahimhossain]

Thanks a thousand time bro. It was the best solution ever. I was so upset few days earlier i thought my laptop is not working. then i saw ur vedio and figured out everything. thanks.

[rdrgu]

OMG Thank you so much, this helped me after finding alot of vids on youtube, I have the EXACT same nano as you did (blue). And my nano is now programmable!

[montyjaboor]

Many thanks. I am running Windows 10 and the driver downloaded from the link you provided works perfectly.

Somehow this needs to be updated. This used to work for me, but isn't anymore. I've been searching for a solution for 3 days, and can't find one.... I take that back... BEN RAY in the comments below. It was the damn "Old Bootloader" option that saved me after all this trouble. Plus, on my other computers, the drivers that came with the Arduino package is working fine too, after choosing Old Booter!!! Thanks to both!
