Arduino Due Programming Port & Erase/Reset buttons (Read 1952 times)

	I am using VM/Atmel Studio 6 to program the Arduino Due using the programming port. It is was my understanding that this method streamlines the program upload process on the Due so that I don't have to push the Erase/Reset buttons every time I want to upload a program. However, in my setup I still have to press the Erase/Reset buttons every time I want to upload a program otherwise my Com port is not recognized. I am using Windows 7 and initially when I plugged in the Due Windows automatically recognized the Arduino Due Programming Port & installed the driver for it. If I try to manually update the driver using the one that came with the Arduino software (Arduino 1.5.2 Beta) Windows says the driver is up to date. I am using VM Beta version 1.1305.21 Thanks in advance for your replies.

	Do you have the same problem when using the Arduino IDE?

	The Arduino IDE works fine and can program the Due repeatedly with no need to Erase/Reset at all.

	Weird...tried everything to no avail, even changed the USB cables. However, changing the Due board to another one fixed the problem. This of course created a new Com port number on the PC. The board functions perfectly otherwise. So far I tried 3 other boards (with 3 other Com port #s) and they all work fine except for this one which only has this particular problem. Tried deleting the Com port and letting windows re-install it but it still does the same thing and assigns it the same Com port #. I seriously doubt the board has a hardware defect since this is the only problem with it. Somehow I think it is a Windows/Com port issue. Anybody knows a way to dissociate a board and a Com port number on the PC and assign it a different Com port #? VM/Atmel Studio 6 IDE function perfectly...thank you for such an awesome tool...you are brilliant!

	Thanks for the update and your support. If you switch the pc off then re-start does it sort out the problem? Normally this wouldn't be required but it sorted a usb issue for me once Can you confirm that the Arduino IDE works fine with the board that fails? Sorry if this is a repeat of an answered question but I am wondering if the Arduino IDE worked with one of the other boards or the one that fails? Does the board that fails show with the same usb driver as the others in device manager? Normally you can use the properties in device manager to change the COM port of a board. Thanks

	Arduino IDE also fails on that defective board. Actually the Arduino IDE cannot program that board even after pressing the Erase/Reset buttons but the VM/Studio 6 can at least program it after Erase/Reset. All other boards work fine with Arduino IDE as well as VM/Studio 6.

	Thanks for the update. Possibly a duff board, I assume you have checked it uses the same usb driver that is used by the ones that work?

	Yes it is the same driver that Windows installs for each Com port after I connect the board up. The other boards are on different Com port numbers on the same PC and they work fine, so I'm assuming that the board is bad. Thank you for your help and fast replies.
