JTAG/serial debug unit when I want a mouse?

Hardware Nano Family Nano ESP32

I posted this in another category, but thought I'd have better luck here.

I want to emulate mouse/keyboard with a Nano ESP32. On my dev machine things work great, but on one the primary machines it shows up at a "JTAG/serial debug unit" in the system information (I'm using this on a Mac).

This is way above my pay grade. Any idea on how I can convince the machine it's a mouse (or a keyboard)?

Don't. You can (probably) move your topic yourself or you can flag your topic and ask a moderator to move it. Cross posting wastes peoples time.

I've merged your two topics.

Hello @driestone1! I can't help you on the Mac side, but the fact that you see that particular name as the device description tells me it is being recognized as a generic ESP32, not as an Arduino Nano with your custom USB emulation.

  • Can you check if you have "Tools" > "USB mode" set to Normal Mode in the IDE?
  • Please follow this procedure to update the bootloader on the board, as the problem might be related.
  • For more help make sure to share your sketch so others can chime in and offer more assistance :slight_smile:
