This can be the result of a missing or corrupted bootloader. If the loopback test passesĪ successful loopback test means that the board can communicate with the computer but is unable to upload or run the sketch. Contact us for questions about warranty, or visit the Arduino Store.
#LOOPBACK TEST RS232 SERIAL#
Note: This test will always fail for the CH340 USB to serial chip used on some derivative boards.Ī failed loopback test failed indicates that the USB to TTL serial adapter is damaged and that the board should be replaced. Performing a loopback test in the Arduino IDE serial monitor. Your message should immediately be echoed by the board, and appear in the output field below. If you’re using the Web Editor, select Monitor in the sidebar.Įnter a message and click Send. If you’re using Arduino IDE, click the button in the top-right corner, or select Tools > Serial Monitor in the menu bar. To learn more, see Select board and port in Arduino IDE. The Board selector is not available in IDE 1 – use the Tools > Port and Tools > Port menu options instead. If your board is an Arduino Nano, you’ll need to manually select “Arduino Nano”. Wiring diagrams for UNO and Nano can be found in Examples.Ĭonnect the board to your computer and select it with the Board selector.
On Mega boards, which have several serial ports, you can use RX0 and TX0. Remove any shield, jumper cables, or other connections to the board.Ĭonnect a jumper cable from the RESET pin to any GND pin.Ĭonnect a jumper cable from the RX pin to the TX pin. If you used hardware serial routines in your RS232 sketch, replace those with calls to SoftwareSerial. A data USB cable compatible with your boardĭisconnect the board from your computer or battery. Now, run a sketch like the one you tested your RS232 breadboard loopback with.2 x female/female jumper cables (or some other way of connecting pins on the board).Arduino Mega2560 Rev3 (and older revisions).A loopback test is a troubleshooting procedure to test the serial communication between the PC and Arduino board with a dedicated USB to Serial converter chip.
