Question Lose mouse control after connecting USB device (Arduino)

view full story
linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Whenever I connect an Arduino via USB I lose mouse control after 5-10 seconds. I must reboot to regain mouse control. This occurs whether the arduino is powered via USB or externally, also the arduino is not sending any serial data. I am running fedora 12 64bit, and this issue did not occur in Fedora 11. Does anyone know what I can do to try and troubleshoot this? (HowTos)

I get this error when trying to connect to an Arduino through a USB serial connection. I'm using the Arduino IDE 1.0.1 and the 64bit version of Ubuntu 12.04. This has been a reoccurring problem since 10.04 and happens to a few other programs that use a serial connection too. I have no problem getting serial data from the Arduino using Python or Screen.

I apologize in advanced if this is in the wrong section.

I have an arduino hooked up to a xubuntu box via a usb/serial connection. A perl script interacts with this arduino and all is well on that front except for the constant renaming of the arduino /dev file.

I developed this application for android which sends a 1 and 0 via bluetooth to the bluetooth bee as its fixed device to connect to. Its suppose to control an external LED connected to UNO. But when i plug in the arduino to the power supply after uploading the program for the arduino, when i press on on the android app, no changes happen to the LED.

Renaming serial ports in unix 52 weeks 16 hours ago

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I am by no means a unix expert, so I hope I explain my issue well.

I'm on a mac (mac mini), 10.7.

My question is about serial port names.

Right now I am using the standard Arduino IDE 1.0.1.

Yet I find both the IDE itself flunky and myself editing the code in other editors only to have to copy paste it inside the IDE and upload it there to my Arduino.

I really dislike this workflow.

So I am wondering: Is there a different way to deploy an Arduino project at best via commandline?

We're always fans of a good Arduino project. While a few Wi-Fi solutions have existed to connect your Arduino to the internet wirelessly, the release of the new Arduino Wi-Fi shield makes those projects even simpler. More »...

I'm a huge Arduino (microcontroller programming) fan, I noticed today that at times when I copy from the Java based Arduino that I can't paste into GEdit... BUT I can paste back into another Arduino window.

But the opposite works. I can copy from GEdit and paste into the Arduino Compiler.

Curious why this could be?

I am testing Digitus USB -> RS232 converter, which is using Prolific PL2303 chip. The aim is to connect to GSP module U-blox LEA 6H.

So for my research, I have to send accelometer data to an arduino mega as a constant stream. I have the module connected to the arduino via serial. However, when I ran the code, it only runs once. I tried to place the Bluetooth connect part of the code inside my on accuracy change part of my code, but it keeps freezing the device.
