[solved] Gamebuino not recognized by computer

Sorunome Wed Jul 22, 2015 12:42 pm
So, today I received my second gamebuino (yay!) but I have the issue that it isn't recognized by the computer.
On my first gamebuino, which is working, this is what happens when plugging in:
RX and TX LEDs flash twice and then remain off, the battery charging LED is obviously on.
Then the arduino noticed the new port and automatically switches to /dev/USB1

On the new (not-working) one when i plug the usb in simply the RX and TX LEDs are constantly on and nothing else happens.

Perhaps there is a new USB chip?

EDIT: nevermind, using a different cable is working....weird

Depending on stocks the cable provided with the Gamebuino might do charging only, and no data transfer.
Anyway I'm glad you solved your problem :)

Yeah I use 3rd party cables anyways and the weird thing was that that exact cable works for the old gamebuino but not for the new one

Confused me at first, too, might be worth mentioning in the Shop :-)
