Arduino Serial Port Problem

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello,

  I have a problem that is preventing me from using my arduino. The serial port only gives me four options ,( /dev/tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync , /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync , /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem ,and /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem )none of them of work.Before this happened,I downloaded the library from "Make an Arduino Controlled Robot" and ever since I have had my serial port problem.Does anyone know how to fix this or know anything else that might have caused it.

                       Please write back soon,

                                         LG
