qextserialport has issues with Windows 8 #6

Closed teki closed 5 years ago

qextserialport only iterates serial ports, but my UNO uses a USB-Serial driver, so it doesn't show up at all in settings.

A quick hack to make it work: http://pastebin.com/KVGgRGy1

(this patch is not 100% right, it removes serial com support, it should be easy to add it, qextserialport did support multiple classes, they just have to be iterated)

teki, This is also a good finding. This project originated from the Arduino UNO and was tested for that, so I wonder what has become different for Win8? Any project enumerating usb serial ports for arduino's should suffer under Win8 then, am I right? Or maybe I simply have to specify the device classes more explicitly like you do.

I have been thinking to throw out QExtSerialPort to see if the Qt 5.0+ native class QSerialPort would be a better replacement. Then I wouldn't need it as an external qt dependency.

Arduino IDE 1.6 ships with a new driver, maybe that changed things around.

Or maybe it is the board, do you have an R3 ? (with an atmel as ser->usb)

I will check once I get home. I have an arduino UNO clone from dealextreme so I'm not sure how this board will map to the official revisions.

QextSerialPort has now been replaced with Qt's native QSerialPort, completely dropped the need for the QextSerialPort library. Please try it out and let me know if it works.
