serialPort.DtrEnablerequired for Circuit Python on Circuit Playground #53

Closed notaquestion closed 3 years ago

notaquestion commented 3 years ago

I'm using a Adafruit Circuit Playground Express with Circuit Python to write to the serial monitor.

After some experimentation, I've discovered I need the following in AttemptConnection in Abstract Serial thread to make things work. serialPort.DtrEnable = true;

I put it right after serialPort.Open();

I realize this is a pretty unique edge case. I don't know what the consequences of having this set to true on a normal Arduino would be. Buuuut... I really had to search to find where to put this/what was going on, so it might be cool to have a toggle somewhere?

(This is my first "issue", please let me know if this isn't the write place for this kind of thing? ty!)

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to report a workaround. Actually that one is among the known issues people can face, and it's documented in the "readme": https://github.com/dwilches/Ardity#communication-with-some-devices-doesnt-work-out-of-the-box

Thanks, regards.
