nutty xander pootling the circus thomyk podcast very fishy will howells arduino nanos, chinese clones and wch ch340 drivers one of the things i’ve learned during my recent electronics tinkery, is that china produces very cheap components. intellectually i knew this to be the case, but after a few searches on amazon i discovered in a much more practical way quite how cheap they are. so, i now have a big ‘bits’ box full of sensors and displays, which i’ve been playing with. however, one recent foray didn’t work quite as well as expected until this morning – arduino nano clones. it’s so tiny! the nano is, as you may expect from the name, a tiny arduino. it is, as with all arduinos, open source and designers gravitech have published the schematics . this, inevitably, led to boards being produced in china and sold around the world for stupidly small amounts of money. for example, in the uk a bare nano (no soldered headers) will set you back about £27 from farnell , however, the pair i picked up from ebay (with headers) set me back £2.79 each, including shipping and a usb cable. however, things are never that simple… the original gravitech schematic had an error in it. the usb controller on the original nano has a test pin, that should be pulled low when you’re using the chip. however, the reference design had it floating, which leads to entirely random usb operation and a not particularly reliable piece of kit. the gravtech produced nanos were patched early on, but many of the clone boards used the original design, complete with error. fortunately, it’s a known issue and there’s a known solution: solder the reset pin (26) to the analogue ground pin (25) – there are a few guides to the fix online. so, when my chinese nanos didn’t work, i assumed it was that issue, and started looking for really really fine soldering iron tips. however, when checking out my boards this morning to see what i’d actually need to solder (and having seen pictures now, it’s something i’d not even try – my hands are way too shaky), i found out that i don’t have the same usb controller. the problem also didn’t present itself in quite the same way – the usb just didn’t connect rather than spitting out a pile of errors. it seems that some of the chinese producers have switched over to using a wch ch340 chip instead of the ftdi chip that’s in the spec – the current theory is that licensing the chip is too expensive. fortunately, while my nanos were still not working, the fix was much easier and doesn’t involve me burning myself. not only does it say ch340 on it, it has way fewer pins that the ftdi chip simply put, you need a driver for the ch340 chip installed on your computer. wch have drivers from the end of 2013 on their (remarkably slow) website – download them , install them, reboot (as necessary), play with your cheap nano. there’s an extra step on a mac running yosemite (and probably later), as the driver isn’t signed. you can find details here , but it’s just running a command to disable checks for signed kernel extensions. that’s potentially a dangerous thing to do, but i’ve not heard of anyone having their mac destroyed by a malicious kernel extension yet… update: the drivers have moved. you can now find them here . thanks to mike in the comments. and now that i have an even smaller microcontroller, it’s time to start actually thinking of things to do with it. so far i’ve managed to plug it into a breadboard. well done me. posted: january 10th, 2015 under blog . comments: 6 on air travel and the inevitability of mediocrity i have long had a strange relationship with air travel. since i was a child, i’ve both loved and hated it in almost equal proportions. as i’ve aged, the hatred has changed from being due to a fear of crashing to an annoyance with people who don’t seem to understand the way that an airport works, but behind it the love has stayed the same. that love breaks down in to two parts. firstly there’s the physical act of flying itself. even in my days of petrified fear, i still appreciated the strange beauty of looking out of the window and seeing the land- or cloudscape stretching off into the distance below us. however, even stronger than that is a love of the onboard service. over the years i’ve lost the fascination with the novelty of shopping while on a plane, although the piles of incomplete decks of playing cards emblazoned with the logos of lauda air, british airways and a selection of late-and-unlamented charter companies show that was not always the case. these days the service element that interests me is, fairly obviously based on my current proclivities, the food and drink. ever since i discovered that virgin atlantic and british airways, purveyors of the ‘drinks are included in the price of your flight’ way of running a plane, will give you multiple drinks during a single seat-side visit, my fear of flying has significantly reduced. these days i don’t load up with booze, but in my initial working years, with regular seven hour flits to new york on the cards, a bloody mary, g&t and a beer would happily drop the anxiety levels long enough for me to sit calmly until my inflight meal and miniature bottle of inappropriately cold bottle of red wine would appear. the bloody mary still holds a place in my heart due to those flights. for some reason, it had never occurred to me to drink a bloody mary when on the ground, but as soon as we hit the clouds it made sense. i’ve read articles that suggest the combination of acidic tomato juice and spice overcome the tastebud-dulling effects of recirculated air and a pressurised cabin, but for whatever reason my love of the bloody mary spilled over from up in the air to down on the ground, and eventually became a love of adulterated tomato juice. these days the addition of vodka just seems like a waste of tomato juice to me, although a red snapper, with gin rather than vodka, is a different matter altogether… food remains one of the most important pieces of any journey for me, with my occasionally obsessive planning always including opportunities to eat. with air travel, this includes the oft-criticised airline meal, something of which i remain incredibly fond. i can safely say that i have eaten very part of every meal i have been given on an airline since i first flew 30 years ago, apart from the suspicious looking mushrooms that virgin atlantic used to serve as part of their ‘english breakfast’ on early morning flights from jfk and newark in the early 2000s. i still remember their worrying and unique shade of grey. it’s not generally good, but i love the way that they produce food of the impressive quality that they do under the space, storage, reheating, serving and financial constraints that they operate under. at school, during a home economics project where i burned onions and made a grey quiche ‘to be served in the cafeteria of a municipal leisure centre’, a brief i somehow came up with myself, one of my classmates rustled up an airline meal. his mother worked for monarch and had scored him a liveried set of dishes and a tray, which he filled with food and presented to our teacher. i have no memory of what he cooked, but i still remember that i was jealous of him having had the chance to have a go. and for having a better idea than cooking for a leisure centre, a type of institution i had then, and still have now, man
