Cant Upload anything to my Pro trinket 5V/16Mhz

Hi All, can someone help me get my pro trinket to work? In my eyes i do everything correct but it looks like arduino is not uploading anything to it. 1. Trinket is listet in system manager, 2. Driver is installed on it. 3. Pro trinket 5V/16Mhz is selected in arduino 4.USBtinyISP is used as programmer....

Help with Arduino Nano 33 Sense Rev2 connection

Hello Everyone, I am new to the world of TinyML and micro-controllers. I have bought a Arduino Nano BLE Sense 33 Rev2 board. Installed the Arduino IDE 2.3.6 (latest) software. Then I installed the Arduino Mbed OS Nano Boards drivers through the IDE. Restarted the IDE and connected my board using the USB-C cable to my Windows 11 laptop. When I go to Tools -> Port in the IDE, I see only COM4 and COM3 but no boards shown. The "yellow" LED on board is blinking so it seems the board is ready but Windows is not able to detect it. ...

Arduino nano esp32 not getting detected

When I'm connecting the board to my laptop it connects for a brief second and then immediately disconnects. I have a project to complete but the esp32 get conencted to my laptop via usb. My Laptop even makes the usb connecting sound for a second and then makes the disconnecting sound almost immediately.😥

Help connecting a FS-N18 dual digital fiber optic amplifier

Trying to connect a fiber optic amplifier to my arduino uno, and I wanted it to read the digital input of the sensor and notify when something is in front. The sensor detects when something is in front correctly (indicated by the led on the sensor) but the arduino is having difficulties detecting this. Anyone have any guesses on how I can proceed? Also since the power supply for the sensor is 12v, I put a voltage divider in the circuit. Does that look correct (forgive me I am fairly new at this)?...

Finding Suitable Encoder for my DC Motor

Hi everyone, I'm working on a project where I'll have a DC motor spinning a flywheel at high RPM. To accurately control its speed, I want to attach an encoder to the motor. Here's information on the motor I'll be using: https://www.nbleisonmotor.com/RS-365-Dc-Micro-Motor-pd6003204.html. Initially I planned on using the AS5600 absolute magnetic encoder. Because the shaft of the motor is exposed on its back, I thought of designing a 3D-printed part that would mount the AS5600 so that the sensor is placed right below the spinning shaft. However, the encoder did not seem to pick up any readings, probably because the shaft of the motor is too weak of a magnet, or too small....

3.5" TFT Screen ILI9488 shows only white

Hello! I am a rather beginner Arduino tinkerer and I recently bought a 3'5" TFT Screen ILI9488 4-wire SPI to play with bigger screens, I previously experimented successfully with SSD1306 screens. Upon wiring the TFT screen to a ATMEGA2560 (Elegoo Mega) board, the screen fills with white. When I upload a basic .ino example using the TFT built-in library from the Arduino IDE, the screen remains white and nothing seems to change....

Inconsistent LED brightness

I have three LEDs which are each operated by an individual button and two sets of code, one that keeps LEDs on after being pressed and another that keeps LEDs on only if the button is held. Set up is the same in both pictures but the 2nd and 3rd LEDs are much dimmer in the "left on" version. I've been searching all over and haven't found anything on this issue. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Why does my stepper motor driver heat up to 90+°C?

I am building a rubic's cube algorithm teacher robot. For the rotational movement, I use Nema 17 stepper motors (17HE15-1504S) with DRV8825 drivers. These drivers tend to heat up to 90+°C, even with proper voltage reference set up. I am looking for help to find out if I messed up something with the wiring/ used mismatching parts or if I should just upgrade the heat sinks. I asked my original questin in #hardware-help but there were way too many replies, so I decided to tidy it up here in one place. Original question: https://discord.com/channels/420594746990526466/863150139206926347/1384146923132551369...

CNC Drawing Machine

Hey I followed DIY Machine’s CNC DRAWING MACHINE tutorial … However, I think it’s setup right but it doesn’t fully move like it should. I dunno if it’s the way I personally set it up or the hardware/plugins. I did the dupoint connectors myself and they are a bit wiggly but it still moves the X axis but I got no idea why it doen’t move the Z axis or Y axis. ...

How to Connect this LCD to my Arduino R3 [Beginner]

Hey there! I am new to Arduino and tried to find tutorials on wiring this up... I couldn't find much help on websites and am wondering how I would connect this to my Arduino R3 and possibly code it with the LiquidCrystal library. Any help is greatly appreciated! [Edit] Since it's not allowing me to attach a photo, the exact model im using is the https://www.adafruit.com/product/4313 You can find its ports in the images on that website...

HC-05 Bluetooth Module Not Responding to AT Commands

Hey everyone, I'n new here! I'm troubleshooting an issue with my HC-05 Bluetooth module, and I could use some help. I'm trying to enter AT mode to configure settings, but I’m not getting any responses in the Serial Monitor. Here's what I've checked so far: The HC-05 is in AT mode (blinking once every 2 seconds). TX/RX are connected properly (Arduino TX → HC-05 RX via voltage divider, HC-05 TX → Arduino RX)....

nano serial chip broken?

Heyas! I got a free nano, I don't know the history other than someone clipped off the ICSP header pins (presumably to make it fit better in a pedal or something). It powers on. It has never been detected as a serial device. The cable I'm using works fine for other USB data hardware. I suspect the CH340C chip is fried but have been poking the nano to see. I've read forum posts that say to never use the ICSP header pins to upload sketches after burning a new bootloader - why is this? If we shouldn't load sketches via ICSP after burning a bootloader, what do we do next so that we eventually CAN load sketches? ...

How do I write code by using datasheets and schematic?

As the question implies, I've come across that it's important to read datasheets and schematics, but from there, what do I do? I understand that it is supposed to help me in some way, but how do I apply that written information into code? I am a beginner:p specifically, I'm looking at this schematic: https://content.arduino.cc/assets/SchematicNanoMotorCarriers.PDF...

is it alright, if i connect my mega2560 and R3 to tx and rx?

so basically, i was doing an test with my arduinos since im kinda new to this arduino stuff, and when i plugged my 2560 in first, it lit up and so did my arduino R3 which wasnt connected to a USB port. is this normal? does it damage anything? it really scares me since i dont want to damage my hardware

HC-12 problems

I bought some hc-12 radio breakout boards a while ago and I can't for the life of me get one of the boards to do anything related to AT mode for programming, I was able to get the other board to be programmed but I am struggling to get anything out of the other one)
