No Connection - Win 7 32B Home, Again, and Again?

Post by motodog »

I have had problems ever since I got a six pac of Trinkets.

I got to work only after using a powered hub.

Now I can't connect again. I used a Mega for some days. I have file separated. I see the driver notice when I plug in Mega.

Now the funny thing, on my Laptop (XP), I see the device in device manager when I plug it in and the red boot led is going.
Then the driver goes away?

When I run the driver installation for win86, I see a command window flash and go away. I go to device manager and
there is no new drivers installed. So there is nothing for me to remove and re-try?

I just have spent too much time, so I will wait until I see any more Windows Installation Problems, I have had them for 2 weeks!

I have read all the Trinket notes, and the Forum. So I guess I am done for now? I may erase all my Ardunio regular files
and devices?

More info....

Maybe I got something installed wrong?

What USB port seems to vary to have Trinket Recognized?

I have read CABLES are a big problem. I don't get that, they work on everything else.

I have had to use a inline hub? I gets warm, but runs off the USB in the computer. No PS.

A REAL short HUB (3 In cable) directly to Trinket and to a REAR USB. I installed driver when I saw it recognized.

In Win7 Device manager I see new Device! libusb-Win32devices
Under that is USBtiny

In Arduino IDE I picked USBtinISP as Programmer.

Error in Red trying to upload....

Error avrdude: could not find USBtiny device 0x1781/0xc9f

Do I have wrong device installed?
I have fairly old computer, don't know if it is USB 1 or 2? Or if it matters?

Thanks Mike
