Code is uploaded to Arduino Nano, but not giving output

Using Arduino Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC
1

Hello,
I am a newb and trying to get an Arduino Nano to work for a specific project running 3 servo motor boards. I am following the directions and code of someone who has made it before, but I am having trouble getting the Nano to respond. Specifically, I can compile the basic code, and send it to the Nano, but I am expecting it to print "Ready for command" in the serial monitor, but despite the fact that the code looks correct and it appears to connect and upload without issue, I am not getting the expected "Ready for command" output and I am not able to send input to the Nano. I have looked over the old forum posts and tried the suggestions including resets of the nano, changing ports, trying a different bootloader and reviewing the verbose feedback. I can't see where it is going wrong. I will offer the code and the verbose feedback below. Any thoughts on the issue is greatly appreciated.

Verbose feedback:

First scan through, no upload error, code looks okay(questionable, but nothing obvious),
But you say nothing appears on Serial Monitor. Is the SM baud rate set to 9600? If not, that'll do it.
To further explore, put a

Serial.println("About to init boards");
delay(1000);

Right after the Serial.begin. Then, even if boardx.begin() hangs, you should see that first message.

The IDE has two windows in the bottom portion. The "Output" window and the "Serial Monitor" window... to open the Serial Monitor, click the "spyglass" in the upper-right of the IDE.

What are these boards, and how did you connect them? Please post a schematic how everything is wired.

You should never post in the Uncategorised section.
It says so in the description of the section. Therefore I have moved your post here.

You might want to look at this How to get the best out of this forum before you proceed any further.
We only know what you tell us, and without knowing what you have, we don't stand a chance.

I have tried a number of different bauds that I mirrored in the serial monitor, but I have settled on 9600 and it seems to be working to upload the code without issue. But, yes I have triple checked the baud rate.

7

I have added your code. I still get no output of either message in the serial monitor. Thank you for the thought, though. It does seem to be receiving code, but not communicating out properly.

8

I do have the serial monitor accessed and open. I can see it well and I have run code on other arduinos before and seen outputs in that serial monitor.

9

Thanks Grumpy_Mike. Stupid rookie error. I appreciate you moving it for me.

There are more images to offer, but for the purposes of communicating what I am doing. I have a total of 48 servo motors wired across 3 control boards. They are daisy chained and identified separately in the chain 040 - 041 -042. The second image describes where each of the servos are connected to each board. The third shows the 040 board connected to the nano, which is also connected to a clock unit. I have double checked the wiring and everything looks right. I have powered the servos separately with their own power supply (5V, 2A).

I have run this with the nano disconnected and get the same result, so I am not sure it is feedback from the system its connected to causing the problem, but I am not confident about that.

11

I also wanted to thank everyone already for reaching out with ideas. I have been building this for about 6 months now and I have hit a wall with it. It has been very hard to find good help. I appreciate any and all ideas about how to troubleshoot or fix.

12

Do you see any result with this:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Hellow, World!");
}
void loop() {}

Odd.
I have received this error before, but not for a while. The "Hellow, world!" code couldnt be uploaded because it could not connect to the arduino nano. I reset the nano and have tried with a different cord, but its giving the same error. I am working on that to see if there is a different issue than I was having before, but I will update once I get the code loaded to the Nano.

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

update: the serial monitor returns the "Hellow World" code in the serial monitor.

15

Very good. Re-upload your other code?

16

Code uploaded fine. Same feedback as the original post in verbose response. No output on Serial Monitor. I can still see the Hellow World printout from the previously run code, but no "Ready for Command"

17

I think something is fishy... upload "Hellow, World" again... does the error happen again?
If you still see "Hellow, World!"... the other program was not uploaded.

18

Ok. That's interesting. I will reset everything and start from scratch here. It did seem as though from the verbose feedback I initially posted that there was a connection and transfer of data, which happened again here. But Its a good point that the serial monitor should reset. I will start with a new sketch and see if I can re-set it.

19

update:
if you look at a previous post, camsysca asked me to add code "about to initial boards" as printout before my code. Now I am receiving an exit status 1 error, but the nano is returning a "about to initial boards" printout in the serial monitor. I am still not getting the "ready for command" prompt.

If it helps, here is the verbose feedback:
