Board for HTCC AB02A

Hello everyone, I'm new to Arduino and there's this thing that I'm not able to solve.
I already installed all the board for my CubeCell HTCC AB02A, and I can find them on the tools and board selection, but when I select the one I need, CUBECELL-1/2AA NODE, for my device it doesn't work! I can select all the others boards, but not the one I need, I can't solve this problem, can you help me?

Thank you.

You have to be a lot clearer about what you mean by that.

simply, if you "click" on it it doesn't select it, Arduino stays on "No board selected"

Click on what?

Assuming IDE 2.x. The red below? What does it say in the yellow?

Please provide the additional board URL as well as a link to the product.

Thanks for your answer.
The product is: HTCC-AB02A — cubecell latest documentation
I followed the quick install guide, downloaded the drivers ecc.

when I select the AB02A it stays like this:

If I choose any other it changes:

Sorry, right now I had to go so the HTCC-AB02A is no longer plugged in.

I hope I'm clear, as I told you I can "select" all the other board exception made for the one I need.

Can you select the board from tools/boards?

I see it, but If I chose the one I need it stays on "no board selected", all the other boards works.

As you see I do see it, but I cant' "select" it, if I click on anyone of the others it works.

After installing the boards package using boards manager in IDE 2.3.3. I can confirm your observation. I've also tried it in IDE 1.8.19 without success.

There is something wrong with the file boards.txt. You will need to find the file boards.txt; I can't advise where it is as you don't seem to be using Windows (nothing wrong with that). For Windows it would be in C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\CubeCell\hardware\CubeCell\1.5.0.

  1. Close the IDE.
  2. Edit the file boards.txt in the a normal text editor; make a backup if needed.
  3. Search for HTCC-AB02A.
  4. You will find CubeCell-1/2AA.name=CubeCell-1/2AA Node(HTCC-AB02A).
    • The / seems to be the problem.
  5. Replace all /2AA by -2AA in the complete file.
  6. Save the file

Find the directory arduino-ide (on a windows system C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Roaming\arduino-ide) and delete it.

Start the IDE.

Notes:

  1. Which operating system are you using?
  2. I do not know if the / is a prohibited character (did not check) or if this is a bug in the IDE.

Be aware that this change will be wiped when you update the board package

Thank you! That's what I was trying to do! I use Mac so I don't know how (I already searched for it) to find the directory where I can modify the .txt of the library, that I already have.

Thank you sterretje, I'll try again later!

THANK YOU. I do not know who you are and where you live, but I'll find you and I'll bring you a jar of honey! I started use Arduino to build a remote scale and thermohygrometer to control my bees from remote! It worked I replaced the / with - .

Heltec if you read this choose more wisely the name of your boards.

I will try to figure out tomorrow if / is a prohibited character according to the platform specification and raise an issue with either Arduino or Cubecell.

I will post the result once done.

And it was a pleasure.

Again, thank you!

The Arduino CLI is the "tool set" that is used by IDE 2.x.

As a result of a reply on the issue report above, issue now reported here: Board AB02A can not be selected in IDE 2.3.3 (nor in IDE 1.8,.19) · Issue #291 · HelTecAutomation/CubeCell-Arduino · GitHub

Thank you so much, I hope this will help other people!
