PC to USB SERIAL interface

[LERAY]

Helle all,
I'm planning to connect a TEENSY 3.2 or 5 to a PC.
Teensy is declared as SERIAL
Sytem configuration indicates COM16, but the CreateFile() function don't recognizes this port nor another port under WIN XP.
Under WIN 10, there is no COM port indicated by the system.
I'm using the USBDeview.exe for reading the available USB ports.
Thanks for your help !

On Windows, to open COM ports higher than COM9 with WIN32 CreateFile(), you need this:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/115831/howto-specify-serial-ports-larger-than-com9

Yes, it's lame, but that's Microsoft.

Thank you so much, Paul. It runs !

Usb 3.6 usb problem

Hello all,

TEENSY 3.6 controlling the Techtoys video board 8876 is running fine ONLY WHEN THE Teensy micro-USB1 plug is connected to a PC/USB 2.0
(For information, the USB Host 5 pins connector (I call it USB2) is connected to the Tactile Screen USB output).
When I try to connect the USB1 to a simple USB supply (no longer the PC), the Teensy don't runs. Strange.
Because absolutely no program running on the PC is necessary for running my Teensy program. (Except the 5V supply replaced by a 5V classic USB charger!).
Thanks for your help !
Best regards,
Pascal Leray

Do you have a while(!Serial) in setup() ?
If not, post your code..

 

[LERAY]

Magic, It runs without !Serial !
Thank you so much !

Glad that it works

USB HOST PORT as Touchscreen Input TEENSY 3.6

Glad that it works

Hello all,

When I connect the TEENSY 3.6 USB HOST port to a touchscreen USB output with a BUYDISPLAY HDMI screen , all is running fine.
But with another touchscreens such as the svga LG FLATRON T1710, no response.
Of course, this screen runs normally with a PC.
Thanks for your help !

I tried also with an ASUS VT207 : no response too. Is anyone has infos about Touchscreen USB interfaces ? Can we test something with the TEENSY 3.6 ?
