Not connecting via USB

[laird]

I am unable to connect to Badgy on a MacBook Pro via USB. I was able to connect and program it with the Hello sketch from the repo via WiFi, once, after which it doesn't respond to WiFi, either. So I need USB programming to recover from that. I've tried several ports and several cables and installed some additional drivers suggested in various forums, but so far it's not recognized as a serial device on USB. Any suggestions?

Hi @laird, do you have the drivers installed? You can find them here https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

Once installted, you should be able to see the device show up in the Arduino IDE e.g. /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART

That did the trick. Thanks! BTW, I didn’t see these drivers referenced in https://github.com/sqfmi/badgy <https://github.com/sqfmi/badgy> - you should add it. Or is there somewhere else that I should be looking for doc’s? I’ve got sketches compiling, loading and running now, thanks!

Awesome! We'll update this information in the README shortly.
