Common problems regarding radino modules and the Arduino system

Can not compile with Arduino IDE 1.6

Currently the radino library only supports Arduino IDE version 1.0.6.

A radino library compatible to Arduino IDE version 1.6 will soon be available on the Downloads page.


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.
