Mac / Arduino IDE does not find port of The Things Uno

End Devices (Nodes) Hardware

Hi all,

i have a new MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) and I have to use a USB-C Adapter to connect the original The Things Uno to my Mac. I did everything what was described in the documentation, but my Arduino IDE does not find the port to connect to my uno. In Port I only see:

/dev/cu.MALS
/dev/cu.SOC
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port

I use the original USB-A cable which was delivered. My macOS Version is macOS 10.13.4 (17E202).

Important Information: With the same cable / Adapter / Mac I can connect to The Things Node without any Problems…

Does anybody have an idea how to proceed?

Thank you,
Quast.

Hi all,

i fixed this issue. It seems that the preinstalled sketch makes some trouble so that the Uno is not visible in the Arduino IDE ports. But when I press the reset button on the Things Uno, the device is visible for about 8 seconds in ports. So I loaded the “DeviceInfo” Sample-Sketch in the Arduino, pressed the upload button in the IDE and after that, I pressed the reset button on the Arduino. Then there will be a 8 sek timeslot which is enough to upload the sketch and after that, my Things Uno was working normal and was always visible in the IDE.

Issue fixed.

Regards Quast
