Sometimes working, most of the time not working (Manjaro Gnome) #332

Open EddoWagt opened 4 years ago

EddoWagt commented 4 years ago

As the title says, sometimes prismatik works good, but most of the times it doesnt work at all. I have the "QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter". In the dmesg command it's listed as a ch341-uart converter. I have 112 leds connected to this. I'm not sure what leds I have and don't have any code anymore either, but that's all fine since it works sometimes and has been running perfectly for a long time on my Windows install. Any help would be appreciated

define "doesn't work at all" please

EddoWagt commented 4 years ago

The program starts, but it doesn't recognise the arduino or something. There's a red circle with a line through it in the tray and the backlight doesnt work.

I got this, that last part keeps repeating

try adding yourself to the tty group sudo usermod -a -G tty $USER and reboot

EddoWagt commented 4 years ago

Already added myself to that

Is it possible for the groups to work differently because I installed it through the aur? Using yay

zomfg commented 4 years ago

should be the same as everything else check user/group of the port, could be dialout group try the other ports

EddoWagt commented 4 years ago

Dialout group doesnt exist and keep getting permission denied. Thought maybe I could run prismatik as superuser, but can't. The weird thing is that I have gotten it to work briefly

zomfg commented 4 years ago

I don't think that's a prismatik issue Can you talk to your board with anything else as same user? (something like screen) Figure that out first maybe flash it with some echo sketch to make it simpler to check

Hmm... Just strange that it did work briefly and in windows it works totally fine aswell
