[LoRa] Heltec Cube Cell HTCC-AB01 not detected on Ports from Arduino IDE

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello all,

I am currently trying to play with my new toy that is a LoRa Dev Board from Heltec. The board model is Cube Cell HTCC-AB01.

I have installed the libraries and the board by using the JSON provided by them on:

"File" -> "Preferences..." -> "Additional boards managers URLs":

I have connected the board to my PC with a data USB cable and it's not beeing detected by Arduino.

The option port is not available on the menu "Tools" (doesn't show at all).

Also when I select other board and port and check "Show all ports" still can't see nothing.

I have tested with different USB cables (that I know they are data USB cables, not just power) and also changed USB port from PC but still nothing is being discovered by Arduino.

I have check the Device Manager and I can see it under "Other devices":

I also have tried to press the RST button in case it got stuck on the boot but nothing happens.

Also, I have check all the steps on this link and nothing works: https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/4412955149586-If-your-board-does-not-appear-in-the-port-menu

Does anyone have had similiar experience or may have an idea how to solve this?

Thanks! :smiley:

Here you can see that the option port is not available on the menu "Tools":

Did you install the CP2102 driver? As far as I know, it should show up under Ports in Windows device manager.

Thank you so much!

Indeed! That was the problem.

For other people to know how I solved the problem:

What I have done is to go to the offical page in where are the drivers and installed the one for my OS (in my case Windows 10).

Once the ZIP file is downloaded I have unzip and then right-click to the file named "silabser.inf" and then click on "Install".

Then I connect again the board via USB and it was detected under ports:

After this, Arduino IDE can detect the port and the menu option appears.

Thanks again @sterretje ! :smiley:
