Hi,
I have been trying to use Maxbotix MB1000 sensor with Jetson Nano using minicom and I am not getting the sensor readings on the output window of minicom.
Interfacing a Raspberry Pi with an Ultrasonic Sensor | MaxBotix Inc.
Is there any other way of interfacing this sensor with Jetson Nano.
Thanks
Hi @abhishek.docky, hope you are doing well!
I haven’t used the Maxbotix MB1000 sensor, but these are two things you can try to solve the issue:
Check that you are connecting to the proper device, in this case you could try to check the dmesg output to see if a new device is created that is different from /dev/ttyS0 for the connection. You can change this using minicom -s → serial mode setup → Press A (Serial Device) → Type the new device → Press Enter
You can follow a procedure similar to the previous but for the baudrate, minicom -s → serial mode setup → Press E (Bps/Par/Bits) → Select new baudrate, parity bits → Press Enter.
You could try disabling hardware flow control, many times it makes it work like that. This would be pressing letter F on minicom configuration window.
Also, you can test if minicom is the problem by using the screen application too.
