@Dan The reason you had issues with the cheaper Arduino purchased from Amazon that you mentioned on IoT hacking is most likely that it didn't have a boot loader installed. Normal upload over USB is only possible once a boot loader is installed. You often need to use an ISP programmer to install the boot loader.

Hey @kevin-mitchell
Thank you so much for the tip about those knock-offs! I did a little google searching and quickly found a tutorial about uploading bootloaders to to your arduino boards for anyone out there that needs that info.
