Open Device Manager and check whether the CH340 driver is installed. If you can see the CH340 driver on Device Manager, mBlock 5 is supported to identity the serial port properly. If you can see the driver but mBlock 5 still fails to identify the serial port, the identification program of mBlock 5 may be blocked by the security software. I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mojave. Now I'm not able to connect to my Arduino board with ch340g usb-to-serial chip. It is a Arduino board with AtMega 328 and ESP8266 integrated. I downloaded the drivers from the Chinese website for the ch340.
