No hardware wizard, nothing in dmesg, but blinky lights.

Post by bitreider »

As the subject says, I just got my new arduino in the mail, was excited about getting going with it. Was reading ladyada's tutorial.. First tried linux, plugged it in, green light, blinking orange lights, looking good. Check dmesg and nothing. Try some other usb ports, still nothing. Confused I thought "hell I'll try it in windows", I boot to xp, plug it in, same good lights, no hardware wizard. Run Device Manager and nothing unknown or broken there, "scan for hardware changes" produces nothing.. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Bummer! There goes my nerd vacation three day weekend.

EDIT: :oops: I am a terrible person. I wasn't inserting the cable deep enough, deep enough for power but not interface. My fault. Thanks for the quick response though.

nerd vacation is go!
