You can find in the Getting Started with Arduino MEGA2560 Rev 3 section all the information you need to configure your board, use the Arduino Software (IDE), and start tinkering with coding and electronics.įrom the Tutorials section, you can find examples from libraries and built-in sketches as well as other useful information to expand your knowledge of the Arduino hardware and software.
#USB 2.0 SERIAL ARDUINO MEGA 2560 UPDATE#
The Mega 2560 is an update to the Arduino Mega, which it replaces.įind inspiration for your projects with the Mega 2560 board from our tutorial platform Project Hub. and the single way i found, is to connect the arduino uno. I need to use both : xBee shield and TinkerKit. On the arduino mega ADK, I put the TinkerKit shield. On the arduino uno, I put a xBee shield with the wifly module for connect to the internet. The Mega 2560 board is compatible with most shields designed for the Uno and the former boards Duemilanove or Diecimila. I have an arduino mega ADK, with usb port, and an arduino uno. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analogue inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. If (netStatus.charAt(22) = '5' || netStatus.The 8-bit Arduino board with 54 digital pins, 16 analogue inputs and 4 serial ports. So now at Setup() i wait 10s for the module to boot up so it is ready to open a serial port, then i check if it is connected to the network before i send the commands to set into SMS mode.Įxample: // Initializing serial commmunication I have a check for that and a reset function. That command to set into SMS mode only works when you are connected to the network.
#USB 2.0 SERIAL ARDUINO MEGA 2560 CODE#
In my case i have code that set the SIM module to SMS mode and to send those messages to the serial port.įor some reason it doesn't send them (or probably the module is not ready to accept them).Ĭonnecting the USB cable reset the arduino and run setup() when opening the serial monitor setting the module in the correct mode.Īdding this code in the main loop solves this issue even though i have them powered both by the same step down converter.Įdit: That turns out 1 hour later after debugging more is not exactly a proper solution to the issue. Serial.println("Confirmication of phone number change sent") įor some reason it seems that while the MCU is running Setup() hardware or software serial don't work properly.
String message = "Notification number set to: " + phoneNumber + "\nSend 'Help' for additional commands.\nNote in case of reset number returns to hardcoded default" Serial.println("Phone number set to: " + phoneNumber) PhoneNumber = textMessage.substring(9,21) Set phone number to receive notifications Set module to send SMS data to serial out upon receipt
#USB 2.0 SERIAL ARDUINO MEGA 2560 DRIVER#
Since FTDI driver stopped working with the fake FTDI chip, the cheap clone stopped using FTDI chips, and switched to the CH340G USB to serial chip this is good, when compared to using fake FDTI chips. Another workaround which i need to test is to remove all Serial code (because i can in my specific project), but again this is not a proper solution. In windows manager you will see the Arduino device detected as USB2.0-Serial, refer below screen shot. This means you have to disassemble your project to access the resistor or add a switch if you want to use USB to debug later or upload new code. I found this which is related to the issue but not a proper workaround:Įdit: I can confirm using a resistor to short pins 0+1 together (serial) works but it is not a proper solution. The program will seem not to initialize serial in setup(). I am working on a project with a Mega 2560 and a Sim800L module.Įverything works fine, however if i don't connect the USB port (at least once) and power only externally (either by Vin unregulated 7-12V or 5V regulated pin)
