Hello All! New member waiting to be able to make my own post!!

Hello forum!!! How can I enable creating new topics on my account?

[PJ_Glasso]

Hi there,

And Welcome here…

You need to gain some forum credz, reply to a topic close to your subject and read at least 3 topics and you will get the new topic power. It’s a spam protection thing.

replying here counts too.

Howdy! Wanted to follow up on an issue with my nRF52840 Sense myIMU.begin() is returning 0 with the I2C scans showing unable to find any device, even though everything worked perfectly a few months ago. I can’t seem to find a post or guide to check if my IMU is actually broken or just that my setup is bad due to updates or something else. Any guidance on where to start?

[cgwaltney]

If it is not being discovered it is either a wireing problem or a code problem IMO

Xiao Expansion board drag & drop testing uf2 flash files

Hi there, So You have bought a Xiao Expansion Board… Where do You begin? Read the Wiki it’s loaded with Hints and Tips… Examples that may or may NOT run unless you prepare your environment exactly like the demo? WOW that’s a gamble IMO. Two alike development systems in the same room, let alone across the Globe. I propose to make this thread an area you can get a Drag & Drop Flash file to test your hardware and give you confidence that the hardware and Basic code works! With so many IDE choi…

Drag one of the UF2 test files to a xiao plugged in and in Bootloader mode(double reset) Then open the serial port and the results should tell you if it’s toast or not.

“entering at least 5 topics” do you mean reply to 5 topics? cause i can’t create a post yet, or maybe just ‘open 5 topics’?

[cgwaltney]

@cgwaltney

I want to get a 3d printer one day… I use autoCAD for work, i used to make 3d models before 3d was a thing… and now i ame in my spair time working on a 3d model of a boat i want to build, which i have been designing all my life. I will probably never build the full sized because of my age and health and lack of money, but i am planning a goal to this year get the 3d model in cad… 3d print a small scale of the design and my neighbor has a laser wood cutting buisness… i want to get him to laser cut the boat parts for a scale boat maybe 3 foot long and make a scale of the boat of my dream

you will love the 3D printer, got one when i retired , dont know how i went without it this long. i often make repair parts for things that are so old parts cant be found. Also on the boat, add a motor some servos and use a seeed to control it all.

I understand you just want your question answered… but here you have to put in a little more effort

in the end, it was much easier than a recent experience i had on another site, I was just trying to understand the rules and “enter’ sounded like i had to enter text somewhere.

[local_rookie]

But by digging all the way down to here U prove that U are worthy !

[cgwaltney]

only if you read…lol

[smischny]

Needing to post a question about the reTerminal E1002 that I purchased. So starting to level up…

[cgwaltney]

I think this is one of our most successful posts ever!

[Chad_Shumway]

Hello PJ_Glasso, If I reply here this will count for towards my forum credz?

Popped in here to search for the trick to get Arduino Cloud app to recognize my newly acquired XIAO SAMD21. No luck on the forum search. Desktop app sees it fine. No luck in the cloud app.

[PJ_Glasso]

Hi there,
Yes they count… LOL
So I think on the cloud thing be sure no other windows are open with the same com port or it won’t show up. is what I found.

It would absolutely be useful to include it in some FAQs.

I’m here because I found an issue and it’s a bit frustrating not being able to post and not knowing why (no offence here, just trying to be costructive)

Also, I stumbled on this thread randomly, it has not been suggested to me upon registration.

[PJ_Glasso]

Hi there,
And Welcome here,

No, not Spam that would be counterproductive and get you shown the door…
Post your question or introduce yourself and ask it . It is meant to protect the forum from the spam Bots and fake account creators albeit NOT that effective but it’s better than ZERO…
You should also understand this is a Chinese companies support site forum. RESPECT is paramount and You build TRUST, the old fashion way.
