RE: Integration of emstat pico to arduino micro

Dear Hielke

Hope you are doing well.

I’m encountering a similar issue with the Arduino Micro. I've attached a screenshot of the error for your reference. Additionally, the serial monitor displays the following message: "Connected device is not MethodSCRIPT device."

We do not experience this issue with the MKR Zero and MKR WiFi.

Could you kindly share your ideas or suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Vahid

  • Hi Vahid,

    All I can say for sure is that there is a problem with the communication between the EmStat Pico and the Arduino.

    Some potential issues are:

    • The Arduino Micro uses 5V logic. The EmStat Pico uses 3.3V logic.
      Unfortunately, this means the Arduino Micro is not compatible with the EmStat Pico.
    • For our examples, the Arduino needs one dedicated port to talk to the EmStat Pico, and one to talk to the PC.
      I'm not sure how many the Arduino Micro has.
    • Some Arduino's share one of the UART ports with the USB port.
      This port cannot be used to communicate with the EmStat Pico.
    • Do not use a SoftwareSerial port, it does not work well on even moderately high baudrates.

    Kind regards,
    Hielke
