  • When I plug in my Arduino, I'd like it to identify to the computer as an arbitrary string specified in the setup phase of the code as opposed to "COM #" as it does by default Commented May 16, 2017 at 13:09

    So you don't want the default name of that specific serial port that is COM# Am I correct ? Please correct me if I have mistaken. Commented May 16, 2017 at 13:16

    "will display a unique name" .... where do they display this "unique name"? Commented May 16, 2017 at 13:28
  • I am using windows, That is a correct understanding. In terms of display location: when given the option on my computer to connect to various devices, I can select COM port 1 -> COM port N or a string that represents the serial number of a device like "Tektronix 25145134514" Commented May 16, 2017 at 13:43
