Good day,
I have been using the Opta PLC series inside the PLC IDE for some time now and have only had a few issues. As well as the Portenta Machine Control, via the standard .ino file system & Arduino IDE. I have been trying to connect the Portenta Machine Control to the Arduino PLC IDE and have been unsuccessful.
I have done the following:
- QSPI formatting via the examples .ino inside the Arduino IDE
- Portenta memory partitioning
- PLC IDE initialization runtime download
After completing these steps, I am able to download the first time boot loader from the PLC IDE to the Portenta. When trying to connect to the target so I may activate runtime, the connection fails with a blank error in red on the bottom right of the IDE.
I did setup communications via the communications tab at the top and tried both lower and higher COM ports. The higher COM port just freezes the PLC IDE until I either force close the program or disconnect the Portenta Machine Control. The lower COM port just gives me a flat error.
Checking Arduino's official youtube page, I see demonstrations of the Portenta Machine Control being connected to the IDE and I follow them with no success.
I also noticed that the videos are ~2 years old and likely not running the latest version 1.1.0 of the Arduino PLC IDE.
Any help on the matter would be immensely appreciated!!!
