=== Drivers for Alternate Brand Arduino Boards ===
Arduino UNO make by a third-party company is not being registered/connecting to the Arduino board. Go to the manufacturers site and determine what drivers are missing and install them. For the board provided by the university you will need the following driver:
Arduino UNO make by a third-party company is not being registered/connecting to the Arduino board. You will notice this if the Port is not being detected as shown in the figure below. Go to the manufacturers site and determine what drivers are missing and install them. For most boards you will need the following driver:

'''Follow these steps:'''
Follow these steps:
* Select and download the driver appropriate for your operating system
* Select and download the driver appropriate for your operating system
* Add your library to the Arduino IDE
* Unzip the folder and run the installer, you may need to run the installer twice for it to work properly
* Restart the Arduino IDE and attempt to connect the port again

=== Other Potential Problems ===
* If the port is still not showing up on the Arduino IDE:
** Make sure that the correct board is selected as depicted in the figure above
** Try changing the USB cable
** When plugging in the Arduino, make sure that the power lights on the board are ON
