Hello,
I have a 3.3V Adafruit Trinket and my problem is that I cant upload my code to the board because it wont show me the port options. I selected for the board (Adafruit Trinket 8Mhz) and for the programmer I selected USBtinyISP but I cant even click on the port option.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: Wont show port options on Adafruit Trinket
Your operation sounds normal for a Trinket.
Take a look at https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... rduino-ide
See where it says :
To upload to your Gemma or Trinket:
1) Select the proper board from the Tools->Board Menu
2) Select USBtinyISP from the Tools->Programmer
3) Plug in the Gemma/Trinket, make sure you see the green LED lit
4) For windows, install the USBtiny drivers
5) Press the button on the Gemma/Trinket - verify you see the red LED pulse. This means it is ready to receive data
6) Click the upload button above within 10 seconds

Look at Blink example and see instructions:Even though Trinket has a USB connector, it does not have a "Serial Console" capability, so you cannot use Serial to send and receive data to/from a computer! It will not show up as a PORT in the setup menu
