WIPy 2.0 arrived- can't see it on MacBook Pro running Mavericks

  • C

    I've got a Micropython Pyboard v1.1 which works fine with my Macbook, running OSX Mavericks.

    I've just received my WiPy 2.0 & expansion board, plugged it into the Mac using the same cable that I used with the Pyboard. /ttyusbmodemxxxx does not appear in /dev.

    Is anything else needed to see this device on OSX?
    Do I need to change any jumper settings on the expansion board?
    I'm getting power to the board, the blue LED is flashing about once a second, and the orange LED is on solid.

    Thanks

    @abilio said in WIPy 2.0 arrived- can't see it on MacBook Pro running Mavericks:

    Can you try a Windows 10 machine, or a linux machine (even in virtualbox will be ok) in order to dismiss the last option?. We just need to see if the board is detected or not.

    I'll try installing the FTDI USB driver manually.

    I've mentioned in another post that I was able to update the FW using a Windows machine. So, we know that the hardware on the Wipy is working.

    BTW- Do I also need the G23-GND jumper on the Mac?
    If so, then I didn't have that installed when I plugged the WiPy in before.

    I'm sorry I cannot try it myself, but we don't have any Mavericks computer available at our offices. I'll be waiting for your feedback.
    Can you try installing Mavericks in a VM?

    @cappy2112, that dump should contain the string AppleUSBFTDI when the driver is being loaded for the new USB device. As far as I know, the driver is contained by default in Mavericks, so this means one of three things:

    • I'm mistaken and the AppleUSBFTDI is not included in Mavericks.
    • The version included is incomplete or doesn't support the chip (see this article for the incomplete part)
    • The expansion board really is defective.

    Can you try a Windows 10 machine, or a linux machine (even in virtualbox will be ok) in order to dismiss the last option?. We just need to see if the board is detected or not.

    Other option will be disabling the stock driver (as the article describes), and installing the ones from the chip manufacturer (get them here).

    I'm sorry I cannot try it myself, but we don't have any Mavericks computer available at our offices. I'll be waiting for your feedback.

    Hi @cappy2112, I'll reply to all your previous posts.

    The WiPy/Lopy boards run MicroPython, but their hardware was designed from scratch. You're right, the docs statement is wrong. We inherited the micropython documentation, and we're working hard to update the docs to reflect Pycom specific things.

    On Mac, the expansion board should show up as: /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXXXX, even without any WiPy/LoPy connected to it. Can you try connecting the cable and run the following command right after:

    sudo dmesg

    Something like: AppleUSBFTDI should show up. I have no access to a Mavericks installation, but as far as I know it includes the FTDI chip out of the box.

    Do you have access to any other computer, so we can rule out is not the hardware?

    PS: on Linux, it will appear as /dev/ttyUSB#, and on Windows, as a COM port (Windows 7 needs additional drivers).

    This page https://docs.pycom.io/wipy2/2wipy/tutorial/repl.html

    also refers to the WiPy device as "/dev/tty.usbmodem*"

    @abilio

    I see no change in /dev after plugging in the WiPy 2.0 on my Macbook Pro.

    Are you sure it's tty.usbserial?

    When I plug the Micropython Pyboard into my Mac, it shows up as dev/tty.usbmodem1412

    Are not the Wipy, Lopy, etc, derived from MicroPython?

    I'm using the same cable with the WiPy, as when I connected the Micropython Pyboard.
    Also, I was able to update the FW on the Wipy today, on a Windows machine, so I know the WiPy is somewhat functional.

    This really confuses me.

    @pwest
    You're correct- once every 4 seconds is right..

    I was confusing the WiPy with my Micropython Pyboard v 1.1

  • abilio

    Yeah @pwest, I misread that part. it should be around 4 seconds per beat. Can you confirm me that /dev/tty.usbserial is not appearing. These are two independent things, so let's first iron the issue with the communication.

    @abilio said in WIPy 2.0 arrived- can't see it on MacBook Pro:

    The LED flashing once a second is the expected behavior of a board running fine :)

    Really? The docs at https://docs.pycom.io/wipy2/2wipy/general.html state:
    By default the heartbeat LED flashes in blue color once every 4s to signal that the system is alive.
    Which is consistent with what I see with mine. Once every second sounds wrong.

    Hi @cappy2112. Expansion boards normally appear as /dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXXXX. Can you confirm it's presence?
