But the board showed up under System Information as FT232R USB UART, so I knew the cable was working. To verify you have reset the 8u2 or 16u2 chip: In the Arduino programming environment, check the list of serial ports. I recently purchased an Arduino Mega 2560. I wrote the code to test out the servos and when I tried to upload the program to the arduino the program reported that it could not connect to the board and returned this error: This application has been tested on both Windows and Linux.
