I have installed the plugin, but the board is not recognized...

  • Updated

These are general approaches to take if you are experiencing problems with the board recognition in the Web Editor:

  • After installation, take into account that it will take some time for the drivers to get installed. This is an automatic process done by the Arduino Create Agent.

  • Try to avoid USB 3.0, since it has been found that it can cause some issues.

  • Remember that some third-party boards are supported in the Web Editor, only with Maker Plan.

  • Try to reinstall the Arduino Create Agent and make sure that you give required permissions (sometimes browsers automatically deny hidden pop-ups).

  • Make sure you are using the Arduino Create Web Editor in the same browser the plugin was installed.

But it was working just a while ago!

  • Try to reset the board by pressing the reset button on it while it is connected to the computer.

  • Try to clear the cache in your browser.

  • Check if the USB cable you are using is working and it is correctly connected to the computer.
