Hololens 2 DeviceInformation not returning Arduino

Question

im trying to find my Arduino on my hololens with the Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceWatcher.Added event but it doesnt come up, on my pc the uwp console app works and i can read the arduino serial data.

DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelector()) also does not work as it only returns the hololens itself. Looking specificly for the device using its VID an PID also returns device.Count == 0:

string selector = SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(vid,pid); DeviceInformationCollection devices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(selector, null);

all these methods work and have been tested on pc, Hololens seems to not add the arduino to the DeviceInformation list. the weird thing is when you go to Setting/Devices on the hololens you can see the arduino even with name(Seeeduino nano in my case) but it gets disconnected and reconnected every other second.

Hi,

Hololens is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

You can ask the experts in the dedicated Hololens forums over here:
