Using an Arduino Micro (Genuino) with #lighthack with Nomad & WIN10

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the usb_test sketch to work on a Genuino Micro (ATMEAGA32U4) but I'm not having any luck. The sketch works perfectly on my Arduino Uno.

Both devices show up in device manager as expected:

With the UNO in EOS Nomad's Diagnostics tab with Incoming OSC turned on I get the following:

However when I do the same with my Micro I only get this:

Which to me looks like Nomad isn't recognizing it as a USB com port or a OSC USB device. However if I press the reset button (instead of plugging in the USB on the Micro), I get the following output:

The code I'm using is the same on both Arduinos and has been copied directly from Github. I believe another user has reported that it works fine on a Micro clone, so is there possibly something different hardware wise? Or is there a code change I need to make to get it working?

EDIT: I read the TS Guide for #lighthack and at the end it made mention of the status of the LEDs on the Uno, should I be seeing the same on the Micro? Or is it different because it's got a built in USB and therefore not using the same Tx and Rx LEDs? Because aside from the power LED, none are lit at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Kieran

  • I had both devices connected for that screenshot showing they're both detected. But I only had one connected when using Nomad

  • Tried to use a original Leonardo ETH also with the same micro controller like the micro and have the same problem.
    The cheap clone works, the original not.
  • Maybe that Arduino's from arduino.org doesn't work. https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=307162.0 There are different USB VIDs.

    Arduino VID 2341

    Genuino VID 2A03

    You can get the board information in the Arduino IDE.

  • I changed the VID and PID in the boards text, no it work for LeonardoETH. Try this changed boards.txt file inside the Arduino IDE.

    For micro the new id are VID = 2341, the PID = 0037

  • This worked, thank you!!

    Sam: Yeah I have everything on the same PC; Arduino IDE, Nomad and that's the PC I use to upload the sketches.

     

    For anyone else having the same issue, the Tx and Rx LEDs on the Arduino Micro do now flash properly.
