[SOLVED] Cannot configure node into anchors

Post by GT_Philip »

Hi,
I have problems configuring the nodes of the loco positioning system into anchors as described in the tutorial:
https://www.bitcraze.io/getting-started ... infostep59.
Until this step everything worked fine, but I can not perform the configuration because the
apply-button is not clickable.

Greetings
Philip

Are you running on Windows or on another system?

Assuming you are on Windows: This app detects the node as an USB serial port. Since we are using a VID/PID which is quite generic (for STM32 dev board), it is possible you already have a driver installed for it that is not a serial port driver. You can look at the driver installed either in the device manager or in Zadig (https://wiki.bitcraze.io/misc:usbwindow ... all_driver). Zadig should be able to re-install the generic USB serial driver.

Hi Arnaud, sorry for late response. I reinstalled the driver for the loco positioning node using zadig.
According to zadig the installation succeded, but the problem this did not solve the problem.

Is the node detected as a serial port by Windows? You can see that in the device manager.

I do not see the device as a COM port. It is just listed as a lubsub-win32 device.

This means that the libusb driver is installed for the node, you can install the usb serial driver with Zadig.

This solved the problem. Most probably, the error came in by misanderstanding of
https://www.bitcraze.io/getting-started ... infostep58
when I used zadig to install the drivers not only for the DFU-mode but also for
the default mode of the node.
