unable to use /dev/TTYUSB0 on linux about deviot

[gepd]

@vlad2005 I'm preparing a new release where that bug is fixed, in the meantime

Open the file Packages/Deviot/libs/PlatformioCLI.py (ST Menu > Preferences > Browse Packages)

Replace the line 664:

if(port and "COM" not in port and "esp" not in mcu):

for

if(port and "esp" not in MCU and "tty" not in port and "COM" not in port):

[ubidefeo]

ha!
same thing happens on Mac.
thanks for the heads up, @gepd :)

[ubidefeo]

Your fix doesn't seem to work on Mac. Bummer :D

[ubidefeo]

I've been playing with it a little and it seems to also always return ATTINY85 from self.getMCU()
selected = env_data[0]['mcu'], I suppose

how would I revert to the previous build of DevIoT?
it worked great :)

[vlad2005]

@gepd
I tried your suggestion but got error (relevant part):
NameError: global name 'MCU' is not defined

LE:
I change to this (MCU -> mcu):

if(port and "esp" not in mcu and "tty" not in port and "COM" not in port):

I got error:
08:36:47 Uploading firmware | avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyS0": Permission denied`

My usb to serial adapter is on /dev/ttyUSBx and have permision fixed using udev.
After that started editor as superuser. Then got this error:
08:41:03 Uploading firmware | avrdude: ser_open(): can't set attributes for device "/dev/ttyS0": Inappropriate ioctl for device
So what to do next?

[gepd]

Sorry about that guys, please download this pre-release, you shouldn't keep seeing that error.
If you find any other problem, I'll thank your report, I'm doing the last tests before the launch.

PD: You only need to unzip the file and overwrite Deviot in the in Packages folder

[ubidefeo]

Thanks, @gepd , I'll give it a shot.
meanwhile I found that the culprit in my case is that json.loads() doesn't seem to return a dict but just leave the JSON structure intact, hence returning the first item env_data[0] which is

{
        "id": "trinket3",
        "url": "http://www.adafruit.com/products/1500",
        "platform": "atmelavr",
        "vendor": "Adafruit",
        "rom": 8192,
        "fcpu": 8000000,
        "ram": 512,
        "mcu": "ATTINY85",
        "name": "Adafruit Trinket 3V/8MHz",
        "frameworks": [
            "arduino"
        ]
}

I'll let you know how this release handles it :)

[ubidefeo]

ok!
had to do some cleanup but at some point it worked.

what I did:

• disable keep temp files
• clean
• delete platformio.ini
• quit Sublime Text 3
• launch Sublime Text 3
• select board
• select serial port
• build
• upload

it works now!
thank you for your support, @gepd :)

[vlad2005]

Thanks for your work!

1. is better to delete Deviot file form this location:
   ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/
2. I fixed the permision problem by adding user to groups uucp and dialout
   sudo usermod -a -G uucp,dialout username
3. Now just works :)

P.S. I noticed a little problem. After upgrading menu disappeared, offering only option to change the language. After I selected the "English" menu reappeared.

Big thanks!

[gepd]

Thanks for your reports guys, the last platformio update changed some json structure so it broke some things.
I'm doing now the test to avoid all that reset stuff.

[gepd]

The last release is available now (1.2.3)
Any problem with the menu should be recovered automatically (If isn't recovered restart ST will do it)

Thanks for your feedback!

[ubidefeo]

sorry to post on this one again, @gepd
I checked the code for the latest release, and there's one more issue about the if condition in mDNScheck()

on Mac, there's by design an alias for the tty port which is cu.SERIAL_PORT_ID, hence in the list you'll always have that port as well, but it's not handled by your if statement, hence causing that same OTA error.

the condition should be

if("esp" not in MCU and "tty" not in PORT and "cu" not in PORT and "COM" not in PORT):

the cu.* alias is the first one displayed in the list (see attachment), hence you can accidentally pick that if you don't know about the condition.

[gepd]

Thanks again @ubidefeo,

I've fixed this to the next release, if you have any problem or to make sure you don't get that error replace the if by:

from re import search
if(search(r"[\d{3}\.]{3}", PORT) is not None and "esp" not in MCU.lower()):

Now is checking if the port is an IP instead to check the serial ports

[ubidefeo]

interesting solution :)
thank you
