Programming Arduino over bluetooth?

Post by superqd »

Hi. I apparently cannot connect over a COM port on my laptop since COM ports no longer appear in Device Manager (Widnows 11). I've followed lots of troubleshooting to no avail. Is there a wireless method of programming Arduinos (Metro)?

Does Adafruit carry these? I saw some devices but wanna make sure I get the right thing.

You did try double tap reset before uploading code? That way the Metro shows up as mass storage device.
Although it should be possible of BT (hello Lego Mindstorms STM32 boards), this is not in the Arduino workflow yet. I really hope to see BT programming one day for the nRF51/52 boards and Arduino programming of the Lego Technic/Spike/Mindstorms hubs in C++.

Double tapping has no effect. It sounds like you are saying you don't know of a BT / wireless way to upload to Arduino, is that right?

Right now the Arduino IDE has no wireless upload modes. Guess we should focus on why Windows 11 messes up.
