Closed jpmeijers closed 7 years ago

jpmeijers commented 7 years ago

This is a bug report for Arduino device/ThingsNode/Documentation.

What do you want to do?

Program the device.

What steps did you take?

Arduino IDE, Sparkfun Micro, ATMega 32u4 8MHz, program.

What went wrong or what is missing?

It did not program.

What kind of OS/Browser/Gateway are you using? Which version?

Linux Mint, Ubuntu, ...

Can you fix this yourself and submit a pull request?

Follow the steps here, especially the part about ModemManager: http://www.arduino.org/learning/getting-started/arduino-ide-on-linux-based-os

This does not always seem to help.

Seems like a general serial port on Linux issue, might be in combination with Arduino IDE but might be unrelated as well. Check if the user is in the dialout group, which would be a permission issue, although the error message indicates that the port is not found at all.

The user was in the dialout group from the start. After uninstalling ModemManager it worked once, then not. After a restart of the computer it works again. Seems to keep on working.

If it's specific to the library, which I think it's not, then file the issue in the concerning repository; https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/arduino-node-lib for example

jpmeijers commented 7 years ago

No I'm going to open this issue again. The fix is to update the documentation. It's not something we can solve in code.

Replaced by https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/docs/issues/153; let's keep this repository clean for network stack and issues for non-open source components
