Stick not found

[pbrickell]

I am getting stick not found but I can see the device using lsusb...

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0fcf:1008 Dynastream Innovations, Inc. ANTUSB2 Stick.

Are there any options I might need to add to calls that might help?

I've just run into this one myself and am currently investigating. Looking at the code it filters based on product / vendor id, and whether the device is in use:

    private getDevices() {
        const allDevices = usb.getDeviceList();
        return allDevices
            .filter((d) => d.deviceDescriptor.idVendor === this.idVendor && d.deviceDescriptor.idProduct === this.idProduct)
            .filter(d => USBDriver.deviceInUse.indexOf(d) === -1);
    }

One possibility is because we are (certainly I am) not using a garmin stick, but the code, as written, is looking specifically for Garmin vendor id .

As you can see it is looking for a specific vendor and product. When you create a garmin stick, it creates it with a specific vendor, and if this doesn't match the actual stick vendor, it will not work:

    constructor(dbgLevel = 0) {
        super(0x0fcf, 0x1008, dbgLevel);
    }
}

However, for my Anself device, they do match (according to device manager's 'Device Instance Path' property:

USB\VID_0FCF&PID_1008\123

The other option, therefore is that it is in use somehow.

if I run a js script like this:

var usb = require('usb');
usb.getDeviceList().filter(d => d.deviceDescriptor.idProduct === 0x1008).forEach(d => console.log("dev", d));

then my device is shown in the list;

It goes wrong here for me:

public open(): boolean {
        const devices = this.getDevices();
        while (devices.length) {
            try {
                this.device = devices.shift();
                this.device.open();
                this.iface = this.device.interfaces[0];
                try {
=====>>>>>      if (this.iface.isKernelDriverActive()) {
                        this.detachedKernelDriver = true;
                        this.iface.detachKernelDriver();
                    }
                } catch {
                    // Ignore kernel driver errors;
                }
                this.iface.claim();
                break;
            } catch {
                // Ignore the error and try with the next device, if present
                this.device.close();
                this.device = undefined;
                this.iface = undefined;
            }
        }

If I change the code to output the error, I get: kernel error Error: LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

I have installed the WinUSB driver (several times!). I am on Windows 10

I am running this on ubuntu with node 14.0. I have tried 18.04 and 20.04. Its curious, if I run the sample code on my desktop It works. If I run on either of may laptops (one is 18 the other is 20) I get a problem.

For me it's the open that fails...

usb.Device.open (/home/paul/workspace/ride/node_modules/usb/usb.js:38) USBDriver.open (/home/paul/workspace/ride/node_modules/ant-plus/src/ant.ts:343) (anonymous function) (/home/paul/workspace/ride/index.js:29) listOnTimeout (timers.js:549) processTimers (timers.js:492) [ Timeout ] init (inspector_async_hook.js:25) emitInitNative (async_hooks.js:144) emitInitScript (async_hooks.js:350) initAsyncResource (timers.js:153) Timeout (timers.js:186) setTimeout (timers.js:144) (anonymous function) (/home/paul/workspace/ride/index.js:28) Module._compile (loader.js:1182) Module._extensions..js (loader.js:1205) Module.load (loader.js:1034) Module._load (loader.js:923) executeUserEntryPoint (run_main.js:71) (anonymous function) (run_main_module.js:17)

It calls __open() which throws an error. If I run the code with the stick removed It never executes this.

It must be some characteristic of the laptops. Both are hp but have different OS and different specs.

I'm on a dell laptop. I can try on my desktop.

[pbrickell]

Both of my laptops are recent ubuntu installs, one is 18 the other is 20. My desktop is running ubuntu 18 but it is a dev machine and has had many and varied installs of libs. I wonder if I have some missing USB libraries.

[pbrickell]

OK success. The problem on both my laptops was with the USB susbsytem. The following steps were required...

1. sudo usermod -a -G dialout paul
2. Reboot (logout didn't seem to work)
3. sudo edit /etc/udev/rules.d/90-usbpermission.rules
4. Add line SUBSYSTEM=="usb",GROUP="users",MODE="0666"
5. sudo service udev restart

Also everything worked running as root with no changes required. For Windows maybe running as administrator may help.
