Uno support: according to JMRI devs it should work #3

Closed k4kfh closed 8 years ago

I know the README says the Uno won't work because JMRI leaves both DTR and RTS off. However, in a conversation with the JMRI developers, I have been informed this is not the case. Does this mean the Uno should work? Perhaps you should update your README...

Update

I tested the "Hello World" example with the Uno this evening, just using the LED built into the board and setting it up as a Light in JMRI. I can confirm it works. I did not test any input systems, but I am assuming those work too. Please update the README that Uno/other non-FTDI boards work.

Thanks very much for looking in to this. I don't actually have a UNO and instead was using a serial port sniffer to see exactly what was going on. I'll update the readme and remove that note, but will keep it as a troubleshooting step.

No probem, glad it worked out as true FTDI Arduinos are much harder to find now.

You may also want to check your example programs one more time. I don't remember off the top of my head exactly what the error was, but the hello_world example in /examples actually had a compilation error for me. The one in README.md worked fine though, so I'm not sure what's up with that. Awesome library though!

All fixed. The compilation errors might have been from #5? The example program compiled perfectly for me today.
