OSX - Nodemcu v1.0 not showing on Arduino IDE port menu #732

Closed cescoferraro closed 9 years ago

cescoferraro commented 9 years ago

Just downloaded the latest Arduino IDE 1.6.5 Added the boards manager [tried with both staging and stable] Downloaded SiLabsUSBDriverDisk and ch341ser_mac drivers. Rebooted. I can see all the esp8266 types under boards menu. But under ports i cant see my board. What am I doing wrong?? I also cant find esptool under programmer. I am running Maverick and just the android cable from the unit to computer.

Check if Mac see com port , sometimes Mac put default Bluetooth serial port

No sorry Francesco , you must use usb serial ,

See what? I should see an extra serial port at the menu right by using the android cable, right? I dont need any serial cables since the board has its own FTDI, right?

cescoferraro commented 9 years ago

YEAH! tried SEVEN cables. With the former, now I see SLAB_USBto UART on the port menu! But still cant program it. I think because I cant see esptool on the programmer menu.

Normally the board should be reset automatically during upload. I'm using nodemcu 1.0 on a Mac, and it works quite well... I must say, I had issues like this with some usb cables as well. If this issue is 100% reproducible with other cables as well, we can try to increase flash erase timeout.

Got it now! I got confused because on the chip its written to use 9600 baud rate. [I think its LUA related] Changed do 115200 and it got it to upload. I have also deleted the stable and downloaded the staging version at the same time.

I love being able to upload at 921600 baud with this board.

One thing I noticed with the v1.0 board is that ESP.reset() doesn't work, it just hangs up showing wdt but never restarts. Perhaps they are pulling rst low too hard or something? ESP.reset() works fine on the v0.9 board for example.

Links2004 commented 9 years ago

@mtnbrit ESP.reset(); does kill the SDK hard but not do a power loop ( resenting registers ) this can end in bad states. like your wdt loop. for safe reboot use ESP.restarts();

see here: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/260ab630f3391ee8bd6c6fed7636bad15a819673/hardware/esp8266com/esp8266/cores/esp8266/Esp.cpp#L116

Hello sorry when I put my answer here, maybe wrong: I have the same problem with a NodeMCU V3 ESP8266 ESP-12 E Lua CH340 - when I put in the USB-cable nothing appears in the port list, but when I put there the good old Arduino Uno V3 my port appears and all works. I tried it with 1.6.5 and the actual 1.8.3. The port submenu is grey in 1.6.5 and shows only the usb bluetooth in 1.8.3. I tried two different USB cables which are good working but no difference. The ESP8266 shortly blinks blue when I put the cable to my MacBook (with OS 10.11.6). I installed the ESP8266 IDE extension for the Arduino IDE. What can it be? Thanks. frank EDIT I will try later on PC...

You need to install the CH340 driver for OS X.

@francwalter Hello there! I'm having the same issues, and your solution, unfortunately, didn't work for me.

I'm on macOS Sierra 10.12.6

I'm trying to setup a NodeMCU 1.0 board, and the port don't appear on the list, even after installing CH341SER_MAC-1.4.

The README of this driver states:

After the installation is completed, you will find serial device in the device list(/dev/tty.wchusbserial*), and you can access it with serial tools.

but this file doesn't exist there.

Also, about your phrase:

I also had to set in Arduino IDE the Reset Method to nodemcu (in Tools) instead of ck and then it worked.

I couldn't find anything related to that in Arduino IDE. Could you provide some screenshot, maybe?

PS: tried on Windows and, while it doesn't give an error (it actually does the upload up to 100%), I'm unable to see any result. Like, running a simple led blinking doesn't make the led actually blink.

What exactly for Screenshot do you need?

I wanted to see where was the option to set:

This is it. But I think that is my fault, this "Reset" menu-entry is only shown when set to "Generic ESP8266 Module" and not to "NodeMCU 1.0 ..." where I guess this setting is implicit.

But anyway, if the driver is not installed and not visible under Port after plugged into the USB-Jack:

FunMiles commented 6 years ago

I have a similar situation but a bit more twisted. I installed the Silab drivers and I was able to plug in my NodeMCU and program it. I did run the blink program in two ways. One with the on-board LED and one with an outside LED connected to a pin and ground. Then I decided to try a WiFi http program. It seemed to work, but when I opened the serial console, the output was garbled as the console was running 9600 bauds instead of the 115k set for the program upload. I switched it to 115k and decided to unplug then replug the node mcu. Since then, the port never shows up anymore. I've tried swapping three other micro-USB cables and nothing works so far. I've un-installed and re-installed the Silab drivers twice as well. Is there any way to see outputs from the drivers that would indicate whether it is invoked or rejects the board?

PS: The board is working. I can connect to the server it creates on the network with the uploaded sketch. Yet it does not show the USB /dev/cu.... device file.

Resolution: I have installed the driver at the link from @rdedinsky and now it works. I can unplug and plug back the device and the /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART file appears. What I don't understand is how it did work the first time without it.

More trouble After going back to working on an actual Arduino board and then back to the ESP board, the programming of the board failed at the very end. Then after I unplugged and plugged back in, once again, the /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART file does not appears. Can anybody help?

thelinguist commented 5 years ago

I had the same problem as the original poster. When you are on a mac, and the board isn't appearing in the port, you may have forgotten to give permission for the driver to run. I was using Silab's driver, and although I gave permission for the INSTALLER to run, I did not give permission for the DRIVER to run (annoying!) Mac will block the driver from running after you install it (I was on OSX 10.13.6). If you have this problem, make sure you grant permission for the driver to run in System Preferences: screen shot 2019-03-02 at 9 41 50 pm I wasted several hours wondering why my board wasn't showing up in the ports menu, I hope this helps someone

Thanks, that was it. If you're using MacOS Mojave, you need to give permission for the driver to run.

It should appear right after installing / using the driver (causing it to be blocked). You may have to unlock the panel before under System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
