I need to use avrdude from a terminal to upload the compiled Arduino sketch (.hex file) to my Arduino Pro Mini 5V. I am programming the Pro Mini board with an FTDI 5V. When I plug in the board into my machine and run the avrdude command with the following parameters, it says that it cannot find that device on that port (see image below). Can someone tell me how to get the port info ("-P") for where I plug in my board into my computer?
avrdude Upload Command showing exception:
I figured this out myself. In the Preferences tab in the Arduino IDE, I turned on verbosity while uploading the code to the board. From the dump, I figured out this is how you can upload the code (the compiled file - .hex file) to Arduino Pro Mini 5V board:
avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -patmega328p -carduino -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/build8135728863211847829.tmp/sketch_may21b.cpp.hex:i

I am new to Arduino and using the esp32 and I am using PlatformIO to command my project in C++ through VSCode. I just downloaded my project folder and opened it in PlatformIO and attempted to run the existing code (over 1000 lines) which is meant to command an exoskeleton. When I run the program, however, I get error messages, as follows:
Error: no device found
Error: unable to open ftdi device with vid 0403, pid 6010, description '', serial '' at bus location ''
Error: no device found
Error: unable to open ftdi device with vid 0403, pid 6014, description '', serial '' at bus location ''
I feel like I am missing something very basic, but everything I search for gives me very advanced problems, and I am hoping someone could dumb this down for me.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
By the way, I am actually using Mac, and the output when I enter the ls -ls /dev/tty.usbserial-1410 is:
0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 2 7 Dec 14:13 /dev/tty.usbserial-1410
You may used a different type of esp32 module (there're lots of variants in the market) from the original design. You have 2 options,
If the software works and you don't want to modify it, then try to find the same type of esp32 module specified by design.
Find out vid/pid from your current esp32 module and update software to connect. Refer to below procedure.
The procedures to update usb serial binding,
Run lsusb to find out vid/pid
lsusb commands
update the existing rule specified with vid 0403 and pid 6010 to your current vid/pid, usually the rule file is under /etc/udev/rules.d/.
Run sudo udevadm control --reload-rules to activate.
I am using a command-line interface package called Arduino Makefile on Linux. I set up a sensor on Arduino Uno to print temperature and humidity data to an LCD.
I have already searched for possible solutions such as Save to CSV file from Arduino, which has code that is repeated on different websites and forums such as researchgate.
I tried using their code. However, the code line:
import processing.serial.*;
gives me the error:
thermo.ino:3:1: error: ‘import’ does not name a type
import processing.serial.*;
^
How would this error be solved? Or is there another way to save the sensor data into a file stored in my computer?
By the way, my computer is directly connected to the Arduino Uno using a USB cable.
The problem is that you are running that code in the Arduino IDE but you have to run it in the Processing IDE.
Download processing from here.
Then download the libraries for Processing here.
Unzip the library and copy the "Arduino" folder into the "libraries" sub-folder of your Processing Sketchbook. In my case "C:\Users\Ricardo\Documents\Processing\libraries".
Now execute the first code that you get from the tutorial that you mentioned before in the Arduino IDE. Execute the second code from that page in the Processing IDE.
That should work!

I want to link a Bluetooth barcode scanner (Gryphon GBT4400) in "client" mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial port profile.
The Bluetooth PC adapter is Atheros Communications AR3012.
PC is running under Ubuntu Server 16.04.
I first run the following commands through bash script:
sdptool add --channel=22 SP > /dev/null
rfcomm watch /dev/rfcomm0 22 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &
Then with scanner I scan the barcode to link the scanner to the PC in Bluetooth (this barcode includes the MAC address of the Bluetooth interface of the PC).
It works well: PC and scanner are now connected.
Then I open the serial port through a QT/C++ application running on PC, built with QT 5.5.1, with following code:
pSerialPort = new QSerialPort("/dev/rfcomm0");
pSerialPort->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
At this step, this warning message is immediately displayed on PC:
Bluetooth: TIOCGSERIAL is not supported
Except this warning, everything works very well: the QT application retrieves correctly all the scanned barcode values.
I found almost nothing on the web.
Can someone help me to understand this warning message ?
You could remove all warning and error messages with:
qt_app 2>/dev/null
but that would hide other warnings that you might want to see. To hide just this one without having to change any source code and recompile, you can do:
qt_app 2>&1 | grep -v TIOCGSERIAL
So, threre are Archlinux distro, stm32 mc, and C code. How to flash stm32, without some IDE, only using console?
With Texane stlink
Install as described in the README
Convert your firmware to .bin if necessary
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary firmware.elf firmware.bin
/opt/stlink/st-flash write firmware.bin 0x8000000
With OpenOCD, if your board is not supported by Texane
Get it from the link above and install (ignore the eclipse-specific parts)
Find your board description file in openocd/scripts/board, create one if necessary.
openocd -d0 -f board/yourboard.cfg -c "init;targets;halt;flash write_image erase firmware.hex;shutdown"
If you have USB to UART adapter, you can use stm32flash. Basically connect USART1 to the adapter, pull BOOT0 to high (there might be a jumper or button on the board) and power up / reset the board. Then you should be able to follow stm32flash -h to see what to do.
Some STM32 (e.g. STM32F042) has USB DFU bootloader built in, so you can also connect the MCU to USB directly and use dfu-utils.
I want to compile the sketch with the Arduino IDE but then locate the bin file and upload it using another program.
How can I design a custom uploader for Arduino (specifications, etc.)?
You can already do this with avrdude. If you don't absolutely need to develop another program, try using this.
If you absolutely must implement your own programmer, check out the stk500 protocol.
Great information available via this forum post

Sample usage:
/usr/local/bin/avrdude -V -F -C /etc/avrdude.conf -p atmega328p -P /dev/ttyACM0
-c stk500v1 -b 57600 -U flash:w:applet/helloworld.hex

Here's a similar program (written in c#) that relies on avrdude:
http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/ArduinoUpload
Command line example:
http://www.neuraladvance.com/2010/04/08/using-avrdude-with-the-arduino-duemilanove/
The following is the command that should be used for uploading a
program to an Arduino Duemilanove (with an ATmega168 chip).
avrdude -c arduino -p m168 -P usb -U flash:w:FILENAME
replace FILENAME
with the hex file you wish to upload to the board. This assumes that
you want to write a file to the flash memory. You can of course verify
or read from different portions of memory depending on your chip but
I’ll leave you to figure that out from the AVRdude manual.
You need to develop something which can speak the Arduino bootloader protocol. I suggest consulting the Arduino documentation and code available at http://arduino.cc for more information.
See the makefile - there is a separate task for uploading the binary to Arduino. This way you will find the tool that does it and the parameters (I don't remember from the top of my head) and you will be able to do it manually (using the tool) instead from IDE. Writing a tool like that seems to be reinventing the wjeel.
