This allows you to view debug messages on your PC without separate FTDI adapter.

If you’re using a board with just one hardware serial port (such as an Uno or a Nano) then you’ll probably want to use the built-in FTDI adapter (which is connected internally to the USB port on the Uno / Namo) for debugging, then connect your peripheral via a SoftwareSerial port. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll use the term FTDI adapter. The FTDI is more correctly referred to as a TTL to USB adapter, as it converts TTL (logic level) signals to a USB connector that ban be plugged into your computer. This allows you to send and receive data via a USB port on your computer to your peripheral or your board. If you need to re-program, test or re-configure your peripheral device then you’ll probably need an FTDI adapter. This will result in either a failed connection to Blynk, or a dropped connection when debug data is sent to the peripheral.Īn FTDI TTL to USB adapter is very useful

Your peripheral device will be listening for “AT” commands, and if debug messages such as serial print or Blynk print commands are sent to the same serial port that your peripheral is connected to, it will jumble-up the communication. Your peripheral device needs a dedicated serial port It’s been covered many times on the forum and on the internet.

I’m not going to cover how to re-install AT firmware in this tutorial. This can not be done using the Arduino IDE, it needs to be done in a different way. If your factory AT firmware has been overwritten then you will need to re-install the AT firmware. If you upload a sketch to the ESP-01 then you will overwrite the AT firmware and it won’t understand the “AT” commands that your MCU board is sending to it. If you’re connecting your MCU board (Uno etc) to an ESP-01 to use the ESP-01 as a WiFi modem, then the ESP-01 needs to be running the default factory firmware. Your ESP-01 needs to be running the factory “AT” firmware

Think of it like a telephone, you speak into the mouthpiece and the sound comes out of the speaker at the other end. You always connect the Transmit (Tx) pin on one device to the Receive (Rx) pin on the other. You’ll usually need to issue an AT command to your peripheral to change its baud rate, so google how to do that for your hardware. Your peripheral device can usually be re-configured to use a different baud rate, but I’m not going to cover that process in this tutorial as there are too many hardware variations to cover. If you’re using a SoftwareSerial port to communicate with your peripheral then don’t use a baud rate higher than 9600, because the Uno etc doesn’t have enough processing power to emulate a serial port at higher communication speeds. If not then they won’t be able to understand each other. Your MCU board (Uno etc) and your peripheral device need to be talking to each other at the same rate. Life is much simpler when you use this type of hardware, and they are usually cheaper than an Uno and an ESP-01 WiFi module. I thought I’d try to put together some guidance on how to do this properly.įirst things first though – if you’re using a device such as an Uno, Nano or Mega that doesn’t have built-in internet connectivity then you should seriously consider using other hardware such as the NodeMCU or ESP32 boards. I have tried resetting the board before, during, and after attempting to upload code, no dice.I’m still seeing frequent posts, mostly from new members of the forum, who are confused about how to add WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity to devices like the Arduino Uno, Nano or Mega, or from people who are trying to use serial communication with some other type of peripheral. Leaving it plugged in for a solid 15 minutes shows no chips on the board getting hot to the touch. My computer still recognizes the USB device as an Arduino Uno and assigns it to COM5.

I have an Arduino Nano that communicates fine with my Windows 10 PC so that rules out the drivers and the PC itself. Nothing is connected to any of the pins on the Arduino whatsoever. This is a legitimate board that I bought directly from Arduino. I have the Arduino/Genuino Uno board selected in the Arduino IDE. The TX/RX lights do not blink at all, but the "L" light always flashes right after the Arduino is plugged in.

However, it no longer receives or outputs any data and any attempts to re-upload code are met with timeout errors in the Arduino IDE.

It still seems to turn on and run the program uploaded. After having the Arduino Uno running for a short period of time, it seems to no longer communicate over the USB port when connected to the computer.
