Can't program Wireless Gamepad v2.0, Unrecognized Serial Port
Account cancelled 2013-02-28 13:22:31 9841 Views5 Replies Hello,
I've tried in vain to find any discussion on the forums or Google on this issue and my helpdesk request remains unanswered. I purchased a Wireless Gamepad v2.0 recently for which I intended to use with XBee or BT-Bee to control Robotics or even games on Raspberry Pi or Ubuntu. ([url=http://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Wirless_GamePad_V2.0_(SKU:DFR0182))]http://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Wirless_GamePad_V2.0_(SKU:DFR0182))[/url]
The problem arises when I try to connect to the Arduino IDE via the Micro USB Adapter in the back of the Gamepad. No matter what I try, the Arduino IDE won't recognize the serial port. I have attempted to do so on computers running Ubuntu, OSX and Windows 7 and the COM port does not show up on the Arduino IDE or when I search via CLI Clients like Minicom. I've tried with the controller on and off and made sure the adapter was connected securely. When I connect anything else via Micro USB, whether it be Leonardo, Micro or Esplora, the IDE picks it up immediately.
Please help me in any way possible as of the present it appears I have a very expensive, unusable PS2 Controller shell!
Furthermore, if anyone can point me to any additional documentation or info it would be greatly appreciated. Part of the reason I purchased the product was because of the difficulty of finding accurate documentation concerning USB HID programs for Arduino Leonardo based bootloaders.

2014-04-14 23:00:58 Hello in,
What kind of USB ports does your computer have? USB 3.0 or 2.0?
Could you try it on USB2.0?
I saw some posts in Arduino.cc. He has the same issue.
[quote]avrdude: error: buffered memory access not supported. Maybe it isn't
a butterfly/AVR109 but a AVR910 device?[/quote]
[url=http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=126532.0]http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=126532.0[/url]
Some guy solved the problem by plugging the Leonardo to a different USB port on his Laptop.
Maybe it will help you. Grey.CC

I'm also having trouble uploading sketches to my gamepad v2.0 ... the good news that my gamepad is reconized as arduino leonardo when I plug it to usb and I can even read data from the arduino monitor when pressing buttons ... here is the error message when trying to upload a sketch:
Found programmer: Id = "B«J"; type =
Software Version = . ; Hardware Version = .
avrdude: error: buffered memory access not supported. Maybe it isn't
a butterfly/AVR109 but a AVR910 device?
note : the 'mode' led is always on and while uploading it detects the device again and the rx led starts blinking with a 15 sec delay for about 5 minutes before I get the error.
I'm actually using arduino 1.0.5 on windows 7 (64) in

in 2013-10-08 18:57:41 can you attach the output of the command 'dmesg' on your ubuntu machine after you plugged it?

It is very strange.
When you plug in the small adapter correctly, the power light should be turned on.
and in your PC hardware management, it will display the serial port like (Arduino leonardo COM x )
Did you find something like that?It should be easy to connect with Arduino IDE.
Best,

Grey.CC 2013-10-06 07:58:38 Did you ever get resolution to this as I have exactly the same issue. I purchased mine from Jameco and it came packaged in such a way that it looked like it was used. I like the concept but it is useless if I cannot program it. seand
