Ready event not fired about johnny-five HOT 17 CLOSED

Thanks for the report - I haven't actually tested with an Arduino Ethernet, so I'll have to order one to work through this.

Another issue might be the recent serialport 1.0 release and how the Firmata protocol interacts with it, see:

firmata/firmata.js#11

Ok, so the patch above has landed and I tested it out and everything seems to install correctly - can you try from scratch and let me know? Thanks!

from johnny-five.

Yes, everything works fine with the patch !
Thanks a lot, now I can test all the stuff from the blog ;)

from johnny-five.

Awesome -- thanks for your patience :)

Also... I'd love to see anything you make, ping me on twitter @rwaldron

I was running into this same problem on my Arduino Uno R3 (the ready event never fired), but I had a different fix: I had to update the StandardFirmata.

1. Download the latest Arduino software (at time of writing 1.0.2)
2. Install and open the Arduino application
3. Connect the Arduino to the computer (through USB)
4. In the menu, select File > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata
5. Press the upload button

After that completed, I could connect to the board using firmata and the ready event fired as expected. I had to do the same process with all my Arduinos to get them to work.

StandardFirmata from IDE 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 all work fine... It just has to be there to work ;)

Running into this issue as well with an Arduino Uno on Raspberry Pi. Have tried StandardFirmata from 1.0.2 all the way to the new beta (1.5.2, I think), and I get the same:

1364595646587 Board Connecting... 
1364595647411 Serial Found possible serial port ttyACM0
1364595647431 Board -> Serialport connected ttyACM0

Originally installed J5 from npm, but have tried a fresh install from GitHub, along with the same for node-serialport. Still coming up short and fresh outta ideas. Has anyone come across something similar with this setup?

I'm running node 0.10.2 on the Pi, with good ol' wheezy Raspbian.

What's the power source ?

from johnny-five.

Have tried both rPI powering the board standalone, as well as both plugged into separate power sources.

I mean to the RPI, low wattage causes USB issues

from johnny-five.

Oh, gotcha. Have tried a Vizio Flatscreen TV, a MacBook Pro, and a little Motorola USB charger that outputs 850mA. Is there a standard I should be going for with this kind of setup (sorry, super new at it)?

from johnny-five.

@jonlong the suggested supply is 1000 mA, have a phone charger handy?

from johnny-five.

@paultag Ah, great to know, thanks. Just tried it with my iPhone charger, but still no dice.

from johnny-five.

Ah sorry. Sounds like @rwldrn turf to me. Back to netflix!

from johnny-five.

Looks like this may have something to do with firmata/firmata.js#17. Will keep an eye on that one. Thanks again for looking into it!

from johnny-five.

@jonlong yep, this is fixed now—thanks!
