How to use Arduino Due? plug it and set it

Official Hardware Mega Due

Hi,

I have just received an Arduino Due.

I plugged it in the right USB port when you look it from above.

I have set Native USB port as type of card ( maybe I am wrong) and it is programming port.

When I want to look the Serial Monitor, it says

La carte sur /dev/cu.usbmodem20 n'est pas disponible

but it 's well transferred

The easiest way to upload a sketch is thru the Programming Port (the one close to the jack plug).

Select Arduino DUE (Programming Port) in Tools>Board.

USB native port CAN be used for programming the DUE, but once the software is loaded and starts running, the port will change and will be assigned a new COM number in the PC - check the ports list.
It will change back again only when the sw is erased and the proc reset (with the push buttons).

Better to use the programming port that can erase the sw before reloading without using the push buttons.

Thanks guys for yours lights.

But I can't use the Programming Port yet. At least, I can use the USB native port to transfert the software but I can't see data with the Serial monitor.

I do think there is a problem with installation of Arduino Due, because I can't use the programming port because Arduino Software can't find the Due in the modem port

La carte sur /dev/cu.usbmodem20 n'est pas disponible

I'm using a Mac OS and first time. I have deleted all installation of the Arduino Due as a network device.

Now I have only one Arduino Due device but not well installed. But in the tutorial of Arduino it is normal.

When I use Programming Port and select Programming port in Tool bar, the card disappear in the port menu.

And it re appear when I plug the Due in Native USB port.

So ? What problem could it be?

Thanks

Quit using MAC!

It's only good for flashy stuff and show off.
If you really want any serious work done, use a PC.

Hi,

I have windows 10 simulated on my Mac with Parallels Desktop.

But I have managed to install Due only with the USB port native.

With the programming port, windows 10 can't recognize the device and so, I can't install good drivers.

What could be my mistake?

With USB port native, I can transfer Blink but I can't use the serial monitor whereas is in the menu Port I selected the good port COM3 (Arduino Due).

Thanks

OS emulation is not quite the same thing, when you need to get down to drivers and hardware, although the arduino.cc states differently, see here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoDue#toc4

Maybe the problem appeared because you deleted the 'network' stuff.

Uninstall everything and start over.

Again, this is because when arduino starts running, the port changes and no longer is COM3.
Port monitor will always try to open the SAME port used for programming, so it will NOT work with native port.

I have used a plugin Arduino online to reset my computer.
Now when I plug the Programming port, Windows 10 can recognize the Arduino Due as
USB Serial CH 340 (COM4)

Also I have advanced Setting to change receiver end transmetter buffer size and port COM1 to COM 40.

I am on COM4, and selected programming port .

It looks like the program Blink it's well uploaded in the Due as below

but the Led doesn't blink. Wheras it worked and I used the native USB Port

How can I have the good driver " Arduino DueProgramming Port Arduino Due "" ?

Thanks

Is it possible there is a problem by installing Arduino Due which is not set up on Mac OS??

Maybe if there is a trick to install better the Due Programming Port will work.

I have use the plug in Arduino Create which works with internet.

I try Agent Debug Console and I have this in loop:

downloadtool windows-drivers latest arduino keep
downloadtool bossac 1.7.0 arduino keep
list
{ "Ports": [], "Network": true }
{ "Ports": [], "Network": false }
{"DownloadStatus":"Pending","Msg":"We couldn't find a tool with the name windows-drivers and version latest packaged by arduino"}
{"DownloadStatus":"Success","Msg":"Map Updated"}
{"DownloadStatus":"Pending","Msg":"The tool is already present on the system"}
{"DownloadStatus":"Success","Msg":"Map Updated"}
list
{ "Ports": [], "Network": false }
{ "Ports": [], "Network": true }
list
{ "Ports": [], "Network": true }
{ "Ports": [], "Network": false }

What should I do?

I think that a good part of your problems is using emulated W10 on a MAC.

Try to install Arduino directly on the MAC. Arduino.cc states everything should work fine an seamlessly.
Other from this, I cannot help you with MAC environment, sorry.

Ok i 'm gonna delete Arduino and re install it.

I hope your right, but having use the agent debug with no effect I'm a bit sceptic

Thanks for have trying to help me! :wink:
