<p>i've been working with the Arduino UNO and Pd for years.<br />now i'm starting with a new board UNO Wifi Rev2.<br /><br />the board works with the Arduino IDE, also with the IDE's serial monitor.<br /><br />the problem with Pd is in the initialization.<br /><br />when the board is powered on and i open the port in Pd, nothing happens. no 'hello world' or whatever comes through, no lights on the board show any activity.<br /><br />[comport] doesn't give any error message.<br /><br />when i close the port in Pd, go to the IDE, start the serial monitor, the board comes alive, spits out the text.<br />closing the IDE, opening the port in Pd again, dadada, the text shows up.<br />as long as the board stays plugged in, the communication gives no problems.<br /><br />in Windows 10 the port for a 'regular' UNO appears as "Arduino UNO (COM5)".<br />the new board as "mEDBG Virtual COM Port (COM4)".<br /><br />is it possible that [comport] fails to initialize this particular type?<br /><br />rolf</p>
