Hey guys,
I am new to arduino and easyvr. I have tried connecting my easy vr to my arduino after installing the library and using the bridge program. When I go to easy vr command after setting j12 to pc and click connect, I get " could not detect device connected to com 6". I’m not sure how to update the firmware for the shield. Also, there are no lights popping up on the easyvr shield whatsoever. Somebody please help.
What exactly are you trying to do? From my experience, you almost never have to set it to PC, it should be on SW most of the time.
I’m guessing you have the shield? What happens when you have plugged in the VR shield and nothing else (With the USB plugged in)?
Are you sure that your Arduino is on COM6?
What Arduino do you have?
I am just trying to connect it so I can put voice commands on it. Also, I get no lights when I plug it in. I definitely am using com 6 on an adruino uno r3. I even called tech support and they couldn’t help to connect it to easyvr commander.
You can have the shield connect to Commander while is SW mode. I never had to use PC… Put the jumper in SW and try to connect Commander to it (with an example sketch from the library that has bridge mode enabled). Commander should connect without any issues. If it doesn’t, you need to find out if anything else is blocking the Commander software. Maybe you have Arduino IDE open?
Next you need to make sure that the shield is plugged in correctly and all pins are making good contact. If there is no change, you would need to contact Sparkfun’s customer care by email and let them know that you may have a faulty board.
Thanks for the reply codlink. I have set it to sw with the bridge code on the arduino. It still will not connect. I will contact sparkfun and have them send me a replaement.
