Title: Can't connect to RICE
Post by: Synbios16 on March 16, 2021, 08:21:08 PM
New to this kind of saber. Have CFX board in SaberTrio Saber, connected to Windows 7 laptop via USB.
Installed Rice 10.005I.
Installed all drivers in adafruit_drivers_2.4.0.0.

I can't get RICE to recognize the saber's plugged in. I click "port list" and nothing happens.

What should be the order of operations or what are "obvious" things I probably missed?

Just joined the group and see this is from a while ago. Check the USB cable you are using -- some simply do not work to communicate back and forth between the computer and the board.

I am having my own lighting/power challenges at the moment but was able to get RICE working via RICE port in the hilt via TCSS purchased USB to 3.5mm R.I.C.E.™ cable but only to my windows 10 PC with stated drivers and some PC configuration.

One other thing to check is to make sure you have the wires on your RICE port correct...I recently built a saber and had the TX and rX wires reversed...this after wiring over 50 of those ports over the years.

They may be using a CFX, in shich case, the port is in the board, The CFX needs to be “on” for RICE to read it.

I'm sorry I missed a lot of notifications from the forum. Check your USB cable is a "full one" not just a charging one

also, if it's a driver issue, check if the USB peripheral is popping up in the device list of your device manager and produces the "ding dong" sound when plugged in (board already powered).
