Arduino Uno

I am looking for an Adruino user group in the Chicago IL metropolitan area. Contact me at 847-370-5759 or raphaelkaplan98@yahoo.com

Hi Raphael,

I live in Chicago and enjoy making projects with Arduinos. There is a group on Meetup but I don't think it has gotten much traction yet: http://www.meetup.com/Arduino101/

I'm a member of Chicago's hackerspace, The specified item was not found., which has periodic Arduino workshops. There is also a weekly Tuesday open house and meeting where you'll surely find folks working with Arduinos. Here's the events calendar: http://pumpingstationone.org/events/

There's another hackerspace in the west suburbs called Workshop 88. They have classes and regular meetings, too. Check out there site: http://workshop88.com/

Also, Chibots has a strong microcontroller focus which I think includes Arduino.

Please share if you find any other local Arduino related groups.

Thanks,
Drew

I'll try my best to help, but I'd like to suggest that you post details of your issue here. This would benefit others who might encounter a similar issue and search for a solution in the future. In addition, there are many experienced Arduino users in this forum who may be able to provide valuable advice as well.

Cheers,
Drew

Here is my problem. I haven't been able to install the driver/drivers for my Arduino Uno R3. I am using XP I went to one site that told me to go to START > RUN > DEVMGNT.msc. I am new to this so when the USB port is highlighted I get lost because the error message after i VERify I get says I need COM3 port. I hpoe you know what I am writing

Ah, unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with how Arduino works for Windows as I've only used it with Linux. I know there are several experienced Arduino users on here that use Windows though so hopefully someone else can chime in.

The R3 version of the Uno uses a different USB chip (Atmega16U2), so some instructions on the web may be for the older versions which used a FTDI chip. I believe these instructions are for the Uno R3 on Windows XP:

I see there is a new thread for Ask our expert Simon Monk. Simon has written several books on Arduino, so you may want to post this issue there as well.
