Bug: Communication error after booting #110
Comments
Hi!
if you boot your pc, close adrilight and just open it again without the
arduino ide stuff inbetween, does this work too?
|
No, this doesn't change anything. |
to be honest, this is an issue I have no idea how to go further. can you try to reproduce it with another pc or notebook? you do not use the arduino software to actually change something? |
|
just to be crystal clear, so even after fiddling around with the serial monitor, you never actually see adrilight working? all you ever see is the demo mode ("colors walking around") and the animation stopping and fading to black after stop sending? if this is the case, then you have a mismatch of the number of LEDs. A classic error :-( |
Well, good that you asked this because obviously you misunderstood my words. The three workarounds I described do work. Open up the serial monitor for a second is enough to allow adrilight to work. Or re-plugging Arduinos USB connection. Or rebooting windows (without turning off the power plug). So, again, to be crystal clear aswell: I do see Adrilight working! And it works fine as soon as it is running. But to do so, I need to use one of these 3 described workarounds, which shouldn't be nessecary. |
#112 is also from you? You have weird connection problems and it seems you are working on your own customized version. so please rollback to the standard ino file and retest please. another idea would be to start your pc. then you have the not working point and instead of the serial monitor dance, just press the reset button on the arduino. what happens then? |
#112 is from me, yes. But the communication issue doesn't have anything to do with my modification since it already appeared before this and my modifications shouldn't have any effect on the communication stuff. But anyways, the communication issue appears with the unmodified stock version, too. I will test the reset button thing in a few hours and report the result. |
The result: I think I didn't mention this before: |
Hi there,
I'm using your software for about two weeks now and I came across this issue:
after booting my computer, adrilight will fail communicating with the arduino. The rainbow animation freezes but the actually wanted colors wont show up.
If I remove the USB-cable from the Arduino and plug it back in again, everything will work fine again. Also, if I quit Adrilight, open the Arduino IDE and just open the serial monitor, close the IDE and open Adrilight again, it will work again, too.
My setup:
Greetings
EDIT (summary of this thread):
Problem is still unsolved, but apparently the problem is not a common one. I can only reproduce the error myself on my desktop PC, on two other tested computers everything works as intended.
The following bug fixes work for me:
a) Unplug the USB cable from the Arduino and plug it back in again.
b) or open the Serial Monitor of the Arduino IDE. Adrilight must not send anything during this time.
c) or restart Windows (without physical power off).
