GPy Initial Startup Connection Issues

[aventri]

Hi, I just received the GPy module with the Expansion board 3.0. I updated the expansion board 3.0. Then attached the it as described. I see that the board is not detected with the gpy attached on the mac.

Only Expansion board 3.0 is able to connect:

Few resets sometimes results in constant Red Led or green led blinks on the gpy.

Has anyone had similar issues?

@aventri My guess is that you haven't installed the drivers to allow you PC to see the Expansion Board com port? When I was starting with GPY, I found this tutorial from Core Electronics in Australia, to be very helpful..

It is Windows centric, but there are others to be found as well
