    Is it windows or linux? Linux (ubuntu) have a bad habit of letting modem manager snatch any ACM devices that is connected to the computer.

      have you installed the mysensors board files? And chosen the Sensebender Gateway as target platform?

      (Seems that you are using Arduino/Genuino Zero as target?)

      Yes, I have installed MYSensors boards but find only micro

      So therefore, I tried another card.

                @MLs In Device Manager what com port is assigned to the sensebender GW? Have you manually installed the inf file?

                com4 is likely the last com port you used in the arduino interface not the one assigned to the GW.

                    @tbowmo : It's better for seeing debug from start.
                    But there is 2 bugs :

                    • When you want to upload sketch. /dev/ttyACM0 disapear (and D4 goes off) afterunplu/plug it works for uploading sketch (D4 off) but at the end of uplaod ArduinoIDE makes a soft reset and /dev/ttyACM0 disapear. Works fine after plus/unplug (D4 ON)
                    • When pressing reset /dev/ttyACM0 disapear (and D4 goes off). Works fine after plug/unplug

                          Now, I think it feels like hardware failure more than software errors. Will try tomorrow on my second computer with Windows 7 and see if there is any difference.

                            @Fabien

                            I added a couple of udev rules, to stop modemmanager take control over the device

                            ACTION!="add|change|move", GOTO="local_usb_device_blacklist_end"
                            SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="local_usb_device_blacklist_end"
                            ENV{DEVTYPE}!="usb_device",  GOTO="local_usb_device_blacklist_end"
                            
                            ATTRS{idVendor}=="1209", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
                            
                            LABEL="local_usb_device_blacklist_end"
                            

                            Add the above to this file /etc/udev/rules.d/mysensors.rules

                            As the USB is native in the arm processor, then it will re-enumerate on the USB port whenever a reset condition occurs. When you press the reset button it will act as a unplug / plug operation (you can see this in dmesg)

                            When uploading to the gateway, it will reset itself to enter bootloader.. The bootloader will have another VID/PID combo (VID:1209, PID:6448) than during normal operation (VID:1209, PID:6449).

                            I have never seen the problems that you are having, where you need to fysically unplug / plug the device, after you have pressed the reset button (or uploaded a new firmware). And I have uploaded firmware (and pressed the reset button) quite some times :)

                            Also please note, that if you double tap the reset button, the gateway will enter bootloader mode, and wait for a new sketch to be sent.

                              @tbowmo : Same with udev rules (but this file is not necessary because modemmanger is not installed).
                              I try to power SBGW with usb, D4 goes ON. After pressing reset, D4 goes OFF and never goes on (I must unplug/plu usb power). Do you have the same with your board ? Perhaps a problem with bootloader ?

                                D4 is the yellow LED, and the only place it is used is in the onboard selftest routine.

                                In my setup, D5 turns on when plugging in the device. If I hit reset one time, it momentarily switches off D5, and then back on. if I hit reset twice, it stays off (bootloader is activated)

                                The above is done on my RFM69 debug gateway, so the sketch is for RFM69, but otherwise a standard SensebenderGatewaySerial sketch

                                Have you checked dmesg, when plugging in, and when hitting the reset button?

                                Have you tried with another USB cable? Have you tried with another computer?

                                    You must have a very well calibrated printer to print it correctly. First try fails (oozing due to overtemp)
                                    Other side tomorrow !

                                        Where did you find the drivers for sensebender GW for Windows 7?

                                          D5 is used by arduino to signal USB serial rx/TX activity.

                                          Can you post the log lines from dmesg, from when you insert the usb cable, to after you have pressed the reset button?
