RESOLVED Z-uno doesn't appear in serial ports

Post by warex »

Hi. I'm using arduino 1.6.5 on MacOS

Eventually all my boards doesn't appear on Port section so I cannot upload new sketch. I used different cables and few z-uno boards. But no result.
Once I pushed buttons randomly and after that board appeared in Port menu. I uploaded new sketches few times, plunged and unplugged board and got no issues.
Next day issue reproduce again and now I cannot make it work. Please advise.

Thank you

Pressing RST button for few seconds helps.

May be look in dmesg to see how was it detected by the Mach kernel

Our developers says it might happen with some sketches. Boot in rescue mode, it should always work.

Check http://z-uno.z-wave.me/getting-started/troubleshooting (Z-Uno hangs topic).

The rescue mode did not solve this issue for me. Rescue mode did indeed stop running sketch code but still no valid com port in arduino available. Well actually I get COM1 but when trying to upload I get a message that either the com port is not valid or board not present.

Below the content of the arduino message box when trying to upload sketch.
As mentioned, it will try to do so via COM1 (which is the only option I can choose from). My computer does not recognize the device when plugged in the USB port, also not after putting z-uno in rescue mode.

Additional info: I am running windows 7. I installed the windows z-uno usb driver. I downloaded the sketch 'simple dimmer' example (which still works by the way) and since then the z-uno is not recognized anymore by my pc in any way, also not after putting in rescue mode. I tried several usb ports, I tried other pc, same result: not recognized as usb device. So I have not been able to download any other sketch since then.

Hi, wirex. Looks like problem is not in your USB. IDE opens a port normally, but It can't write the sketch data to memory. Can you send complete log of compiler/uploader? It located in C:\Users\Gast\AppData\Roaming\Arduino15\packages\Z-Uno\tools\zuno_toolchain\00.08.10/zuno_toolchain/. Look for *.log files.
