 ====== Step Four: Connect your Arduino UNO board ======
   -Plug the 'B' end (The big square end) of your USB A to B cable into the square USB socket on your Arduino UNO board. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a free USB port on your computer.

+  -Allow a moment for your operating system to detect the new device. On Windows operating systems, drivers may begin to install. If so, allow this process to finish before proceeding.
   -In the Arduino IDE menu, select TOOLS->BOARD->ARDUINO/GENUINO UNO
   -The details of the next step depend on your operating system:
     - Windows
-      - In the Arduino IDE menu, select TOOLS->PORT->FIXME
+      - In the Arduino IDE menu, select TOOLS->PORT-> and then look for a COM port numbered 3 or higher which is also labeled (Arduino/Genuino Uno) and select it.

     - Mac OSX
-      - In the Arduino IDE menu, select TOOLS->PORT->FIXME
+      - In the Arduino IDE menu, select TOOLS->PORT-> and then select the port named starting with **/dev/tty.usbmodem** or **/dev/tty.usbserial**. The port name will probably end with an unusual alphanumeric string.
