INDIO industrial not comunicating Serial, while the proto does ?.

Strange issue , Serial communication  works fine with Proto Board, but not with Industrial version.
But first :

  • I am aware of that the pin numbering differs between Proto and Industrial
    So I changed code on industruino to to use Ch 1,2,3,4 instead of protoboard 4,5,6,7 for my hardware inputs
     
  • I am aware of some weird issue where (both) of these type of devices kinda picks randomly a COM port number,
    I fixed at the C# side, but would rather see the next available Port is used (i'm allready at COM11 now after a few sketch updates)
     
  • I used the .inf file to instal the industrial board, and didnt alter anything afterwards.


At industruino side the code goes like :

 Serial.begin(9600); //Start serial communication boud rate at 9600  (in setup)

//...inside main loop :
   if(Indio.digitalRead(1)==LOW )  
   {
     Serial.print("A\n");   //never executes
}

Hi Peter, not sure which MCU versions you are using, but in case you have a D21G, the Serial communication over USB uses the name "SerialUSB" (different from 32u4 and 1286 were it was "Serial"). Please refer to 2nd paragraph at https://github.com/Industruino/libraries

OK i got confused as the example code still used normal serial for debug purposes, maybe that code needs adjusting too : https://github.com/Industruino/democode/blob/master/IndustruinoDemoCode_D21G/IndustruinoDemoCode_D21G.ino

Thanks Peter, you are right, i have corrected that now.

I was under the impression that the protoboard was a D21G and i used serial in the sketch ??
Could you perhaps per version, give an example as to me its not clear what our company buyer bought.
So that i can tryout each example, and know the version

Hi Peter, if you're not sure which version you have, you can remove the casing to have a look at the topboard. If it has a coin battery holder on its back (for RTC) then it is a D21G. Otherwise it says 32u4 or 1286 on the top. Uploading will only be successful if you select the correct 'board' in the Arduino IDE. Using a D21G, replace any Serial with SerialUSB in your sketch.
