I tried uninstalling all 3 devices, rebooting, plugging the device in, Arduino Micro then shows up as a yellow triangle device. I found out by showing hidden devices it also shows up as a USB Input Device, and as an Arduino Micro under com ports. Is there anything else you can add to your issue ? Nothing connected to the TX & RX pins before the sketch was loaded only afterwards when upload is verified. NOT using USB 3.0 ports !!!! If you must then use a POWERED USB 2.0 hub between the Arduino and the USB 3.0 port
Depending on the sketch and how it was set up you may have to disconnect it, UNINSTALL the driver for it, restart the computer fully, and then plug the Arduino back in. Possibly listed in "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" and do what you did before and plug in the Arduino to see if it changes anything and then unplug. Some hardware items can actually HIDE and not show any of the usual warning signs.ĭevice Manager, View, Show Hidden Items.
That would be my first thought regardless of what you may think it has done with drivers.įact that you both have windows 8.1 means very little as the settings between one computer and another even with the same OS can be different per user. Windows 8.0 and 8.1 have high driver enforcement settings by default. I grabbed my old USB logitech joystick and plugged that into the laptop, just to make sure his system can recognize USB HID joysticks at all, but it shows up perfectly fine in the Game Controllers list.Īny suggestions where I should start looking to fix this? I know it's probably more of an issue with Windows than with the Arduino, but I don't know who else to ask. And it's the same deal on my home PC where it works perfectly - it shows up as an HID-compliant Device in the HID list in the device manager.īut I cannot for the life of me get it to show up in the Game Controllers list, even though it does on my own home PC.
When I plug it in, there's 2 HID-compliant devices in the HID list, when I unplug it, there's only 1, so that must be it, there's no yellow triangle so the drivers are installed properly, I even tried right clicking on it and hitting update drivers and pointing it to the Arduino drivers folder, but it said it was already using the proper drivers. In fact, it appears to show up as a properly installed HID-compliant Device. I checked Device Manager, there's no "yellow triangle" devices that are missing drivers. When I first plugged it into his laptop, Windows said something about installing drivers, then the dialog disappeared without errors. He also has the Arduino IDE installed, just like I do, and we're both running Windows 8.1. It works perfectly on my computer, but when I brought it to my friend's house to show him on his laptop, it doesn't show up in the list of game controllers at all. I've finished building my Arduino Micro into an IMU head tracker device, it is supposed to show up as a USB joystick.
