Serial Number now responds with #2 #314

Closed BrianAker closed 6 years ago

BrianAker commented 6 years ago

Subject says it all.

host: ~ $ blink1-tool --version blink1-tool version: v1.98-macosx-x86_64, fw version: -1 host: ~ $ blink1-tool --fwversion cannot open blink(1), bad id or serial number

Any ideas?

Hi, Which blink(1) do you have the original or the mk2? Does the blink(1) work otherwise?

Hi, Does the blink(1) work otherwise? Also, which OS are you on?

BrianAker commented 6 years ago

OSX 10.12.6 (16G29)

It responds to some events, but not others. If I go into the control panel and set it to “meeting” it might work for a little while.

It turns off after a little while though. The USB bus is not showing that it is detaching.

From System Information:

blink(1) mk2:

Product ID: 0x01ed Vendor ID: 0x27b8 Version: 0.02 Serial Number: 200061F6 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: ThingM Location ID: 0x00223000 / 3 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 120 Extra Operating Current (mA): 0

On other note, if I leave it one “use first” it will work for a while, but if I select “2”, it shuts down.

Only one executable at a time can talk to a blink(1) device. Thus, one cannot run blink1-tool while running the Blink1Control app.

If you'd like the functionality of blink1-tool while still running the Blink1Control app, you can use blink1control-tool, a command-line program that works similarly to blink1-tool but actually makes REST API calls to the Blink1Control app.

Apologies if this wasn't clear in the description of the tools.

BrianAker commented 6 years ago

I turned off Blink1Control app and tried the command line tool again:

blink1-tool --list blink(1) list: id:0 - serialnum:2

~ $ blink1-tool --fwversion -v deviceId[0] = 0 cached list: 0: serial: '2' 'USB_27b8_01ed_223000' openById: 0 id:0 - firmware:204 serialnum:2

Still no luck, the serialnum does not seem to be reporting itself correctly.

Are you using a 3.0 hub? try an old 2.0 hub.

The hub is off the monitor and has been the same hub it has worked on for years (all other devices are the same). I did move it though just to be sure, same thing.

Well good news/bad news.

I bought a second blink and once I inserted it, checked its firmware/serial number.

Everything checked out fine.

So I inserted the older blink and it started providing a sane serial number again.

That is so weird. Well let us know if you have any future issues. If the original one turns out to have a fault, email us at blink1 at thingm.com and we can arrange a replacement.
