Sebkinne Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You need to turn off flow control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There is a pretty detailed guide on the wiki that I've made. Link in sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzdingo Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I followed the guide and every thing was right I have got the flow control set to none on putty and on the com port settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I followed the guide and every thing was right I have got the flow control set to none on putty and on the com port settings Are you using the Alfa console board or another UART adapter?

gazzdingo Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 No I am using one off eBay but the same as the hakshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 No I am using one off eBay but the same as the hakshop Try changing around your TX and RX cables per the wiki suggestion. For non-Alfa Console Board hookup UART RX Pin —– Hornet TX Pin UART TX Pin —– Hornet RX Pin UART GND Pin —– Hornet GND Pin (Take note of the cross between RX-TX) DO NOT plug in the voltage pin. ***Depending on how the UART manufacturer labeled TX and RX, you may need to swap them if you don't see data in your terminal session. http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guidecleanflashserial#hardware_used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Protocol Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 i am seeing all the data in the terminal I just cant select 1 in the menu it just by passes it Hmm, I have heard of this but never experienced it. Double check your flow control settings in both Device Manager and in PuTTY (assuming you are using Windows). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 This definitely sounds like flow control issues. It could be that something went wrong with the drivers. Re-install them and try again? And as Mr. P said, double check your settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzdingo Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 no it is not i re installed on two different windows computers i am thinking that the ttl uart is faulty i have checked over every thing so i orders another one to check. (waiting for it to come live in new zealand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon-xvii Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Same here, not able to press [1]. I see all the screen messages, see countdown 3 - 2- 1, but no response at my [1]. Have an original Alfa and an identical SparkFun. Tried 3pc's 2x Win7 And WinXP. Tried all the flow controls. Tried Putty and Hyperterminal. Tried a PC with a onboard Serial interface and a serial to usb-interface. Going to buy some more interfaces. These serial to ttl devices have flashed fonera's successfully before. Maybe the 115200 is too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1980 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I'm having a similar problem, did you find a solution? All I can think is that I may have accidentally blown the serial input with over voltage. I'm using a voltage divider circuit to knock down 5v UART to 3.3v, I worked the voltages out in theory but didn't actually measure it. I receive output from the hornet UART just fine.

JF1980 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 So ignore me being a fool. I don't know why I thought the board was using 3.3v levels - I just read on the OpenWRT site that it uses TTL levels. Patched the serial connection directly to my arduino rather than via the 3.3v divider and boom it works. Better to have been cautious I guess, would have been really bummed if I blew the serial input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
