Arduino not recognized

[mudithadias]

Hi,

I'm using LIFA with an arduino uno board to control stepper motors. I've been using it fine until I had to reinstall labVIEW (2012 student edition) and now labVIEW does not recognize the arduino. I re-installed VISA drivers but no sucess. It's giving me error 5005. I can upload the firmware and the the motor works when i run it using an arduino sketch. so i guess my arduino's working fine. Any ideas?

Thank you!!

What is the name of the device in the Device Manager?  Have you tried hard wiring the correct COM port directly to the Init.vi?

The error just means that it can't find it automatically.  For some reason recently my Arduino Mega 2560 is not showing up in the device manager with the correct name (It is showing something like "%mega2560%" but used to be something like "Arduino Mega 2560").  So, hard wiring the COM port to the Init.vi fixes, or rather bypasses, the issue.
