Hi,
I haven’t been able to connect my Seeeduino Arch as a USB Serial port – that is, communicate with a PC using only the USB cable.
Windows doesn’t recognize the device when I plug it in. I tried installing the mbed Windows Serial port driver (from mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration), but the driver won’t install - it says no mbed device was detected.
Is USB Serial port supported by the Arch? Do I need to install a different driver for this?
Thanks,
Dan.
Hi Dan,
The driver is for the mbed interface, but Seeeduino Arch doesn’t have one for cutting the cost and using LPC11U24’s USB easily.
To use USB serial on Seeeduino Arch, follow the notebook(http://mbed.org/handbook/USBSerial). Its driver is inf file and can be downloaded on the notebook.
To update Seeeduino Arch’s firmware, follow the wiki(http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Seeeduino_Arch#Programming_Seeeduino_Arch_on_Windows.2C_Linux_or_Mac)
Sorry, we didn’t make the documents clear enough.
Best,
Yihui
Hi,
Ah, yes, now I get it!
So, debugging is supported through the USB port, but only if the USBSerial library is included in the project.
I tried it out, and it works well, even on Windows 8 and on an Android tablet.
Thanks,
Dan.
