Common problems regarding radino modules and the Arduino system
Uploading a sketch through the arduino IDE fails
Enable verbose output via "File->Preferences" select checkboxes "compilation" and "upload" near "Show verbose output during:"
Check verbose error messages during compilation and upload
- arduino IDE successfully finds the COM port but avrdude stops after an output like
Connecting to programmer: .avrdude: Send: . [1b] avrdude: Send: S [53] avrdude: Recv:
- -> Force the arduino into bootloader by pressing reset button twice when the arduino IDE starts scanning the COM ports
- arduino IDE successfully finds the COM port but avrdude stops after an output like
avrdude: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail
- -> Force the arduino into bootloader by pressing reset button twice when the arduino IDE starts scanning the COM ports
- arduino IDE fails after scanning the COM ports with an message like
processing.app.debug.RunnerException: Couldn’t find a Leonardo on the selected port. Check that you have the correct port selected
- -> Force the arduino into bootloader by pressing reset button twice when avrdude starts scanning the COM ports
- -> Disconnect the arduino from USB and reconnect after some seconds
- -> Maybe a restart of the arduino IDE is necessary.
Windows 8 refuses to install Arduino / radino drivers
When using Windows 8, radino driver installation may be refused because of the missing digital signature.
The following tuturial describes a possible solution to install radino drivers (hardware drivers without digital signature) properly on Windows 8:
Drivers for radino module and radino bootloader will be installed separately. As mentioned above, you can force your radino to enter bootloader-mode by pressing reset button twice. Your computer will then recognize your radino bootloader.
radino & Linux
Some users experienced problems while trying to upload new sketches to their radino modules. A conflict with the ModemManager prevents succesful uploads. When entering bootloader-mode, the ModemManager immediately sends random data to the radino, which will prevent proper uploading.
- To fix this issue, a UDEV-file can be created, located in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-modemmanager-ignore-radino.rules
which holds the following content
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="ignore_radino_end" SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="ignore_radino_end" ENV{DEVTYPE}!="usb_device", GOTO="ignore_radino_end" # Ignore ICT products. ATTRS{idVendor}=="1da9", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1" LABEL="ignore_radino_end"
The ModemManager will now ignore all In-Circuit products (like radino). You can now upload your sketches as usual, using Arduino IDE.
