I fiddle around with the conrad IoT Advent calendar and the provided arduino compatible. (see the website).

I downloaded the drivers for my kernel from a site that was mentioned for this in the comments, got them compiled and loaded.

But, when I attach the uc, dmesg claims to attach it to /dev/ttyUSB0, however, I only have /dev/ttyACMx devices at best. Connecting to the ttyACMx devices won't work from arduino IDE (I can select them, but no synchronisation is possible).

Output from dmesg and ls:

Update: It seems that just seconds later the device is unmapped again although the device is still connected, at least in dmesg it is shown just some seconds later:

[34857.936151] ch341 1-1.2:1.0: ch341-uart converter detected
[34857.938144] usb 1-1.2: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0

[34858.155799] ch341-uart ttyUSB0: ch341-uart converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
[34858.155823] ch341 1-1.2:1.0: device disconnected

As requested: 

beowulf:~$ lsb_release -r; uname -a
Release:    15.10
Linux powerwolf 4.2.0-19-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 11 11:39:30 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Output of udevadm can be found on pastebin.

How can I get this thing working?

  • Could you update your question with out put of sudo ls -l /dev/ttyU*

  • @Sneetsher result of this is a failure since no file with /dev/ttyU* exists. I updated the dmesg output, since it seems that the driver disconnects immediatly after connecting. I guess thats a driver-problem.

  • It could be, sure you have tried the change the USB port ? (1) could you edit the question and add output of lsb_release -r; uname -a so we can compare similar cases. (2) unplug the device , run udevadm monitor --env on a terminal, plug the device, ctrl+c to kill the previous command , upload output to paste.ubuntu.com . (3) If you have USB3, try disabling it.

    Interesting, got a hint regarding USB-cables and tested some, with some cables it works, with other not.

The workaround is to use a powered USB-Port, as well as simply another USB-Cable.

Sadly, no one seems to have a look at why with some cables the device is added and immediatly removed, while with other cables the device stays. I don't get behind this conduct.
