Re: Serial port not showing up.

The important question is that will the cable handle data transfer in addition to providing power. This may be equivalent to saying it is a 5 pin cable. See, for example, this Amazon ad http://www.amazon.com/6ft-Type-Male-Mini-Cable/dp/B000GHXTBO/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439498282&sr...

From http://www.sparkfun.com, I use the SparkFun Cerberus USB Cable - 6ft product which is 3 common USB cables in one. In the description of this, you will find a link to USB Buying Guide which discu...

Re: Serial port not showing up.

I'm using a Mac, so I can't comment on the PC. However, I tried two cables which power phone-devices, but failed to give the port name. The cable that worked was specifically designed to work with devices connected to the Arduino. Try radio shack (if it still exists) or best buy, but verify that it ...

Re: Serial port not showing up.

What kind of computer do you have? PC, Mac, Linux? What is the operating system? Window 7, 10? Mac OS X 10.10.4?

Re: Ringo Base Sketch posted!

I have managed to get the current examples to work. I am running a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10.4 There were several pitfalls which others might learn from. 1. Despite the warning, I managed to connect the ribbon to only the top layer of pins on the Ringo. It is a tight fit. 2. I carefully read about...
