I have a Velleman VMA101 Arduino Mega 2560.

https://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?id=435498

When I connect it to my computer, I can see it on Port COM18 with a yellow triangle, which means something is wrong. On IDE I had COM3 available, so I went to device manager and chaged the port to COM3.

The drivers are installed correctly when I installed the Arduino IDE 1.8.7.

I tried to get the board's info and I got this:

BN: Unknown board
VID: 04E8
PID: 6860
SN: Upload any sketch to obtain it

After that, I tried to upload an empty project to see whether it will work or not. It didn't work and I got this error message:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

What's wrong with my board?

How can I solve this problem?

The board was working perfectly for months

    Uninstall the device and let Windows find it again.

  • I uninstalled everything (devices, drivers), then installed everything again. The computer recognized the device and installed correctly the driver but I got "code 52" which looks related to unknown signature of the driver. How could this be solved?

    Embrace the dark side and upgrade to Windows 10? No driver needs to be installed then.
