troubles setting up my new Arduino Uno Wifi Rev2

Official Hardware UNO Family UNO WiFi Rev2
1

Hi all,

just got the board delivered today and ready to set it up, I had some previous program working on a Arduino Ethernet, and thought of going step by step to see the new features of this board.

Struggled initially as the ARDUINO 1.8.7 IDE did not have the board as an option listed, once installed I could connect and I tested the Blink program working fine.

now I tried to use the serial monitor, and it does not work, it remain blank, this is the code quite simple.

when loading the same code on an old Arduino Uno R3 model it works perfect with the serial monitor prompting a code of 3 every 3 seconds.

the TX led is blinking on the Arduino Uno and not blinking on the Arduino uno Wifi

is there some parameters to setup for this Arduino uno wifi rev 2?

int coolFactor = 3;

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(57600);
  
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   
  delay(2000);                       
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    
  delay(1000);                       

  Serial.print(coolFactor);
 
}

I have 3 of these boards, and when I plug in a different board I have to re-select the board from the pick-list under the tools menu. Each board shows up as on a different port, even if they are plugged into the same USB connector. Not sure if this is what your problem is, but it may help.

My regular Uno didn't seem to have this issue, but I was only working with one board.

Are you sure you selected Uno WiFi 2?

Hi,

I have just opened a ticket "WiFi connection issue. A bug ??" about something similar to yours. Could you verify that ?
