I bought an Adafruit Pro Trinket - 5V 16MHz[ID:2000] and a USB cable - A/MicroB (3ft) [ID:592] for uploading code.
I am using the Adafruit Arduino 1.0.5 IDE.
I plugged the cable into the Trinket Pro and the other end into the computer. I do not get any lights on the Trinket Pro. From watching tutorials and videos, I had expected to get a green light and a pulsating red light for roughly 10 seconds. I've also tried plugging the Trinket Pro into a 5v - 1A power supply with both the purchased cable and another cable. No lights. No response following press and release reset button as well.
The Trinket Pro also does not show up in my USB Device Tree the way my Adafruit Trinket - Mini Microcontroller - 5V Logic[ID:1501] does (No Issues, works like a charm). I've added a screen capture of the MacBook's Device Tree showing its connection with the smaller device (I did not post a photo of the Trinket Pro on the device tree as it never popped up). I've also added a photo of the lit up 5v Trinket to show what I had expected the lights to kind of look like coming from the unresponsive Trinket Pro.
I'm aware that both the Trinket and the Trinket Pro are to be programmed using the IDE with a USBtinyISP. I just haven't been able to get that far with the "Pro."

The working Trinket photo (as promised).
Works like a charm! If I could just get him to convince his "big sister" to drink the kool-aid.

Re: Pro Trinket 5v - Not Working
If you aren't even getting a power LED, it sounds like something is wrong at the hardware level.
