    I was using my 4 original nano well. Today suddenly i lost serial port. There are only bluetooth ports.. Uno has no problem but my nano serial port is nowhere.

    I followed this http://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/5119/arduino-nano-no-serial-port-for-macbook-air-2013
    but didn't work.

    All my day passed with this problem:(

    mac 10.10.1 Yosemite

      have you tried putting it int another USB ready device like another laptop? Just to detect its presence...

      I have fried a board or two never to talk serial again. Did you happen to bang some wires together?

      Also,

      I use a mac and often have to completely reboot my machine to get it to see the arduino... pull out the arduino before you reboot.

        My Mac has done this a couple of times when shorting or taking out too much power from the USB port. Guess it contains some kind of fuses (luckily).

        I only had to restart my computer to get going again.

          While UNO is working there is no any issue with MAC itself.
          If I remembered correctly there are original FTDI drivers can be downloaded for MAC. I will recommend to install them http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm

            Thank you all.

            I tried to use vcc ang gnd for 5v servo with two nanos.
            When i couldn't see serial port i opened a new one and followed this : http://sysexit.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/burning-a-bootloader-to-an-arduino-nano-using-another-arduino/
            also http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Burn-a-Bootloader-to-Clone-Arduino-Nano-30/3/?lang=es

            My new opened nano also died after bootload.
            After this i tried with uno as programmer, it installed ISP and 2 of nano is blinking like new one but no serial.
            Other 2 nano didn't burn;

            avrdude: Device signature = 0xffff00
            avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F
            Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
            avrdude: Send: Q [51] [20]
            avrdude: Recv: . [14]
            avrdude: Recv: . [10]
            avrdude done. Thank you.
            Error while burning boot loader.

            4.nano was in vera. I don't remember how i loose it :)

            Now i will go and get 2 more nano. I have to use one of it with vera. Also i will buy 2 raspberry b+ and cameras and a clone yün to try some intercom action.

            I want to use other raspberry with openhab or pidome...
