BUG Unable to open RS232 device (IO Exception (2): No such file or directory, file

My USB appears to be connecting through ttyAMA0, that is why I am choosing that connection in Hyperion. I've tried the others as well and they fail also.

[email protected]:~$ dmesg | grep "tty"
[ 0.000272] console [tty0] enabled
[ 1.310612] 3f201000.serial: ttyAMA0 at MMIO 0x3f201000 (irq = 87, base_baud = 0) is a PL011 rev2
[ 5.971692] cdc_acm 1-1.3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[ 135.712971] cdc_acm 1-1.3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[ 222.233813] cdc_acm 1-1.3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device


I've tried other rates as well. Had no effect.
Yes. The rate in the sketch matches the config. I've test a few variants on this also.

The only thing at this point seems to be hardware related. I am thinking the video grabber might not be working properly, even though the launch indicates the grabber was started.

 

You don't want /dev/ttyAMA0 - this is the onboard serial port on the gpio headers.

You USB device is /dev/ACM0

Forget the grabber for now, we need to focus on getting the leds working.
Use this arduino sketch https://github.com/hyperion-project...assets/firmware/arduino/adalight/adalight.ino

Set the baud rate to 11520 in the sketch.

Hand edit the Hyperion config on the Pi to check the baud rate and ACM0

Kill any existing hyperiond:
killall hyperiond
hyperiond /<path where your config is>/hyperion.conf.json

 

I apologize, I was in error about the dmesg line, It seems my dyslexia got the better of me. Two lines very similar and close together. /sigh

The above statement from Penfold42 is is correct.

 

That worked!
Well, parts of it. I did change back to /dev/ACM0 as well.
I think it was the sketch I was using that was corrupting things, regardless of /dev/tty* setting.
I still used the HyperCon interface to send the config and stop/start things. Don't know enough about editing in 'vi' yet.

Thanks for all the help.
Much appreciated.

Definitely learned a lot by starting from scratch though.
Works with KODI and ROKU.

Now I need to mount the LEDs.

 

@caveman - yay !
Btw, 'pico' is a much simpler editor if you don't want brain damage just to do simple edits.

@Akriss - I hear you ! I had to triple check to be sure to be sure to be sure cos it does my head in too

 

I see this is an old thread but this issue clearly describes the issue I'm currently experiencing, specifically with the RS232 device error listed on my log here:

@penfold42 or anyone that can help, I followed these instructions noted above

Forget the grabber for now, we need to focus on getting the leds working.
Use this arduino sketch https://github.com/hyperion-project...assets/firmware/arduino/adalight/adalight.ino

Set the baud rate to 11520 in the sketch.

That was easy, no problem. However I don't understand how to do the next step in osmc...

"Hand edit the Hyperion config on the Pi to check the baud rate and ACM0

Kill any existing hyperiond:
killall hyperiond
hyperiond /<path where your config is>/hyperion.conf.json"

I'm struggling and really hoping for help!

 

I'm all set, it's up and running. For me it was important to make sure baud rate and uno address were correct
