problem with pc detecting DIY adapter

[Xnitro67]

im on windows 10, cp2102, and teensy 2.0 w/ pins. i got the fw loaded g27 to g29 for ps4 but when i get to the gimx part i dont get any port in gimx launcher or device manager even with the red and yellow cord switched still nothing the cp2102 board does light up though. i have tried different usb ports. teensy is still being detected by the way just incase

Should I just order another or something cause I'm not getting any response

Check in the device manager whether you see the CP2102 adapter or not.

I don't even hear a connect ding the teensy works just fine though and is the cp2102 board supposed to get hot?

[Matlo]

It looks like your CP2102 is dead.

[Xnitro67]

at least there not expensive

Hi guys,

I suspect my CP2102 is faulty too, but as the shipping took 2+ months I want to be sure it is really dead before ordering a new one.

I just can't get my head around the fact that it is still recognized in Windows, I am still able to successfully load the firmware onto my Leonardo through it, but it fails the loop back test every time on Arduino IDE (when I short the TX/RX pins).

Does this behavior makes sense? If it's faulty, shouldn't it be impossible to upload the FW to the Leonardo?

Thanks a lot!

[Matlo]

Yes, it would still be possible to load the firmware into the Leonardo as the transfer is performed through the USB port of the Leonardo.

to let you guys know i did buy another and it work flawlessly

Thanks Matlo.

I'll order a new one. A FT232RL this time, just in case there's something wrong with the drivers.
