No Serial Ports Listed Cannot Connect USB
Hello Everyone =)
I am new to the Makeblock and Arduino platform. I do have some programming background but i am also new to the mBlock interface.
I have built the robot starter kit Tank and everything works great. I am able to use the Bluetooth app to control it and everything on the robot seems to be working fine.
However, when i connect the bot to the computer (2012 Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6) with the USB cable, nothing happens. The bot powers on, but it shows no connections to the computer.
I have installed the Adruino and Orion drivers and i have installed mBlock 3.1. I followed the instructions to first connect the USB, wait, power on the bot, wait, then launch mBlock. I have set mBlock to use the Me Orion board, but nothing shows up in the Serial Ports list, its completely blank, and the Bluetooth and Firewire Update options are also greyed out. I have also noticed that at the top of the program, it says “Disconnected-Saved”.
I have read through many other forum threads trying to find the solution but nothing has worked. I have also tried the sudo nvram command in terminal and i have also tried different versions of the drivers but nothing seems to work.
Can someone please help me get the USB drivers to work? Without being able to program this thing, its really just an over priced slooooooow rc car lol
Thanks for any help! =)
I tried to upload a screen shot but it wouldnt let me.
