Po-util: The Ultimate Local Particle Experience for Linux and macOS

It looks like you have multiple versions of po-util installed.

Please delete the non macOS version.

What do type po and which po say?

Here's what happened? I removed redbear duo to see if po util works.

second I

particle device add 1c005200xxxxxxxx
Claiming device 1c0052000xxxxxxxxxx
Failed to claim device, server said: Device is not connected

Next I copied this to make new redbear duo.

I've tried almost everything. is there something I'm missing?

how do I delete the non macOS version?

What do type po and which po say? It should help you locate the linux version if it is installed.

Run "man po" for help.

Can you run:

$ type po

And:

$ which po

$ type po
po is aliased to `~/po-util.sh’

$ which po
/usr/local/bin/po

Perfect!

Can you delete ~/po-util.sh and remove the alias in your .bashrc?

Update:
I fixed the problem linux was having with building for duo.

Could you make something cool for Po-Util?

Okay, I hold and press reset and mode. Yellow light flash. I plug in duo, core, etc on Raspberry Pi OS USB.
Make very quick boot splash

I USB plug in Duo. Progress bar should show up. Please wait… Upgrading & Fixing DFU errors on Duo.
No mouse & keyboard typing needed.

100% complete show up done. You may unplug USB. Unplug show screensaver or kitchen dashboard(weather, clock). If user plug in Arduino Uno or Adafruit. It should show. Sorry, not compatible.

Boom all fixed.

Could you explain what you are looking for po-util to do more clearly? I understand that you would like a progress bar but I'm not sure what else.

When using po duo flash, po dfu-open is used to put the device into dfu mode for you.

2017-6-27: UPDATE

###Introducing the bash completion beta!
You can now press tab (twice) while typing any po-util argument to have it automatically completed. Please contact me if I forgot any completions, as this is a beta.

Please update po-util and reinstall to get the bash completion.

2017-7-9: UPDATE

The bash completion is now stable!

I’ve ironed out some bugs I was having with the bash completion on macOS.

I’ve also added CONTRIBUTING.md and a Code of Conduct to po-util.

I’d also like to announce that I am offering my bash skills to anyone on the community who needs them.

2017-7-12: UPDATE

I’ve made a bunch of updates to po-util. Please run:

$ po update 
$ po install

to get them.

Added 3 libs with new feature: Now I have …

bash-3.2$ cat libs.txt 
https://github.com/grovelabs/Spark-Adafruit-PCA9685.git Spark-Adafruit-PCA9685
https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library.git blynk-library
https://github.com/dwcares/debounce.git debounce

But when I do po photon build, I get

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/Users/AndrewWard/Documents/AW_HW_SW_Projects/PWM_Test/firmware/blynk-library/*.cpp', 
needed by `../build/target/user/platform-6-m/firmware/blynk-library/*.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [user] Error 2
make: *** [modules/photon/user-part] Error 2

Any suggestions on how to get the blynk library to build?

Hi @awardblvr,

Please update po-util with:

po update

And then use the blynk library optimized for po-util:

po lib rm blynk-library
po lib purge blink-library
po lib get https://github.com/nrobinson2000/blynk
po lib add blynk

2017-7-29: UPDATE

I have found a method for Linux to open devices on the default baud rate of 14400 to put them into DFU mode. No more 19200 baud workaround!

Also, po-util now installs all of its dependencies and components in ~/.po-util to stay more organized. Below are the instructions to remove the old components and update po-util on macOS and Linux:

$ cd ~/github
$ rm -rf particle pi redbearduo dfu-util
$ rm -f ~/.po
$ rm -rf ~/bin/gcc-arm-embedded #Linux Only
$ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/arm-non-eabi* #Linux Only
$ bash <(curl -sL https://master.po-util.com/install)

I had the arduino IDE up and functional.

arduino IDE 1.8.3
I had Teensyduino 1.3.7 working too
I have the Raspberry agent installed on the latest raspbian
these worked today.

I am on RPI 3

I can still compile on the arduino IDE for teensy and other boards but the serial monitor freezes.
I installed po-utils today.

the serial monitor in the arduino IDE stops after only a few lines

pi@TELEZrpi3:~ $ type po
po is /usr/local/bin/po
pi@TELEZrpi3:~ $ which po
/usr/local/bin/po
pi@TELEZrpi3:~ $ po list

Found the following Particle Devices:

Electron: /dev/ttyACM0

USB_Serial: /dev/ttyACM1

pi@TELEZrpi3:~ $

I wonder what happened to my serial port for serial monitor in the Arduino IDE

well did some other installs…

I am building ATOM on the rpi3…

I got the serial monitor working at 19200…for now

I will try to monitor the electron and see if that works

I did get apm and atom on my rpi3.

after a bit of flipping through

Nice. I haven’t tested po-util on raspberry pi much. Are you able to build projects?
