Arduino UNO after pc reboot sketch is lost

[timmaeh]

Hi guys,

i got my functional Adalight here, iam using this with boblight and xbmc. Everytime i restart my htpc or just shut it down and start it the next day i had to reupload the adalight sketch again. After this reupload all works fine.

Then i shut my pc down, next day i wanna watch a movie with adalight, nothing works until i reupload the sketch.

My sketch: http://pastebin.com/wuuLCvnr

Before i restart my pc


After the reboot but before i reupload the pde file


Can somebody help me out?

[tldr]

a little googling leads me to believe that your problem is not on the arduino, but that boblight is not properly initializing the com port. uploading the sketch takes care of that. to satisfy yourself that this is true try running the arduino ide and opening the serial monitor, but don't upload the sketch. close the ide and boblight should then be able to talk to the arduino.

sorry, but i can't offer a solution, just help you narrow your search for the problem.

Hey ,

i just made a little workaround for this problem.

I made a batchfile wich opens the arduino ide so the port is initializied. Works for now.

Code: Select all

start "arduino" D:\Arduino-1.02\arduino.exe -c

TIMEOUT /T 1

taskkill /im arduino.exe -f

TIMEOUT /T 1

start "boblightd" /MIN C:\boblightd\boblightd.exe -c c:\boblightd\boblight.conf -f


maybe this helps somebody someday
