The Arduino IDE I am using is version 1.8.10 for macOS.
I have no idea about this board details.... it is some cheap Chinese made UNO board and when I try to pull the board info from the IDE, it says something like "native serial cannot get board info", but I'm not focused on that, as I have a lot of different boards on the way, including some more (Chinese) UNOs, some Nanos and some Pro Minis to deploy on my motorcycle when I get to that stage of fun. This board is just the first one that came; I have a lot more toys on the way for this caper.
LOL, I have 30 pending AliExpress orders, including a RobotKit, OLED modules, many sensors and shields, cases jumpers, nik-nak kits (resisters, caps, diodes,, etc) ...... I plan to connect the Robot in my home to my motorcycle via 3G SMS... all part of the future fun. Maybe do some home automation (I guess they call it IoT NB, these days).
This is really fun... haha . Especially living in Thailand with easy access to all things duty free and Chinese
PS: Here is the robot kit I plan to modify (when it arrives in a few weeks):
I could have built the robot much cheaper than the kit price, but "what the heck"... it's all fun!
LOL It was too funny looking, so I had to get it... But I'll do a different discussion thread on Mr. Robot Dude. I need to think how this guy fits into my IoT playground.

I am working on a semi-auto detection idea for Arduino for the Scope project.
It does require a little user intervention but minimal.
It works by just responding to two on screen prompts to unplug and plug Arduino
into a USB port.
There are two versions and both work perfectly well and give... (3 Replies)
In my further exploration of Arduino, today I decided to install the arduino-cli on my mac today.

I followed the instructions for macOS but when I got to this part:

Waiting for more fun Ardunio parts from AliExpress, I decided to test two cheap Chinese Arduino UNO clones.
The Arduino UNO R3 (CH340G) MEGA328P
The Wavgat UNO R3 (CH340G) MEGA328P
Both of these Chinese Ardunio clones sell for about $3 USD, delivered to your door.
The bottom line is... (0 Replies)
Just finished a quick Python script to send the current unix time over to the Arduino from macOS, so in the absence of GPS or some other way to get the unix timestamp (epoch time) to the Arduino, I can get my macOS and Arduino UNO synced to within a second.
Normally, when the Arduino starts... (9 Replies)
Here is a sketch to do basic testing for the Arduino UNO and the MLT-BT04.
This BLE module works with IOS (iPhone) and I'll add some details on my IOS testing with an iPhone in a follow-up post.
For now, here is the basic BLE (HM-10) sketch for the Arduino UNO:
