Serial monitor and led blink does not work!

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

Today I received my particle photon board and I tested it with many simple code but none of them works!

I got Update firmware to 0.6.1 But nothing happens.

I install particle_drivers_6.1.0.51.exe and ParticleCLISetup.exe But …

my OS : windows10
my IDE : Particle Dev

I also use PuTTY for test serial monitor but thats does not show anything.

the code that I use for testing serial monitor is :

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println(“Serial Begin”);

}

void loop()
{
Serial.print(millis());
delay(100);
}

just to make sure you really flashed the code, you can test with adding a blink on D7…

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Serial Begin");
  pinMode(D7, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print(millis());
  delay(100);
  digitalWrite(D7, !digitalRead(D7));
}

thank you BulldogLowell,

I test your code but nothing happens :frowning:

I Also test “Thinker” and it’s work fine! I can on/off D7 and blue LED on board and external LED does on/off.

But any code about serial and etc does not work :confused:

no blinking on-board LED?

In that case you haven't actually flashed your firmware...

no :confused:

how can I flash my firmware?

on the Web IDE?

  1. Target the device
  2. create a new App
  3. Past the code I gave you into the editor
  4. Save
  5. Verify
  6. Flash

I tested it with Web IDE and Particle Dev but nothing happens :confused:
Pleazzzzzzzz....... tell me why??? :disappointed::tired_face::cry:

Did you:

  • TARGET THE DEVICE in Web Dev by highlighting the little golden star next to the device name?
  • Save your app
  • Press Verify
  • Press Flash
  • See twinkling LED light on Photon whilst it is flashing your app?

Screen shots are encouraged…
