Problem with my Arduino UNO

Post by mitobobo »

Hi all,

I've got some problems with my Arduino UNO, just arrived today :(

I installed the software on Windows 7, but when I run it, it says "An error occured while starting the application" and after a few seconds it loads.
I can't use the "Tool" menu, because it doesn't appear and block the program...

The Arduino just have a green led switched on(the one near "ON"). What's wrong with my Arduino?? :cry:

I tried in Ubuntu, but nothing...

If I press the RESET button in the board, seems nothing appear.

Thank you very very much for your help.

What version of the Arduino IDE did you install on your windows 7 machine? It sounds like it was not installed successfully. You also need to install the Uno driver on Windows 7.
I tried in Ubuntu, but nothing...
What exactly did you try in Ubunto? Does the Arduino IDE run correctly? Does your machine recognize the Uno as a usb device when you plug it in?
