I've had a really bad time over the years with the USB chips in the clones, to the point where if I'm using a clone these days, I won't even attempt to use its USB and I'll just use ICSP to program the arduino clone. For cases where I know I'm going to want to use the USB I'll happily buy a genuine Arduino.
- sokoloff 3y agoReally? I’ve had no problems with the (usually CH34x) USB interfaces across high double digits of boards. I could ICSP them (and do for some of the 3D printers), but I can’t recall a single instance of Chinese-made clones needing that. There’s no way it would get me to pay 5-8x over the clones/respins.
- mianos 3y agoI have as well with MacOS. Never with a PC. I have some TTGO-display boards that have some USB to serial chip I could never get working on a Mac, no matter what drivers, uninstalling, installing etc. They worked fine on a PC. In the end I threw them out so they did not get mixed up. A very frustrating experience.
