gemma v1 and 2 avrdude errorusbtiny_receive: (expected 4, g

[asparagus]

Hi, I received a gemma v1 and v2 - initially had issues which i believe where related to usb3 on a windows laptop so via a usb2 Hub I can get the gemma v2 to enter boot mode - the v1 just blicks 1 second and goes off.

I have had it replaced by the retailer but same issues with the v1 so its not a corrupted boot loader so i will try a better quality usb cable when I get a chance...

Anyway the v2 which is entering bootmode gets this output each time:

avrdude: error: usbtiny_receive: (expected 4, got -5)

Any ideas?

I also have a trinket pro and I am sending sketches to that fine.

For reference this is the simple neopixel demo I am trying to send

Thanks for any support or advice

Please post the entire output from the upload

The only output I am seeing is:

Sketch uses 3,334 bytes (62%) of program storage space. Maximum is 5,310 bytes.
Global variables use 53 bytes of dynamic memory.

Go into Preferences in the Arduino IDE and check the box for verbose on upload. You'll get more-detailed information in the trace.

Does the sketch work after the upload completes? As I recall, this error simply indicates a retry, and you can ignore it.
