Metro Mini 5V no longer connecting?

Post by ATXDesigns »

I am seeing an odd problem. I have several Metro Mini 5V boards that I have been using for various projects. Up until now they have all worked fine. Today I went to start a new project and none of my Metro Mini boards show the correct serial port when connected. When I try to select the serial port it only shows me one option for serial port:

When I select this port and attempt to upload it takes forever and eventually I get this (same thing on multiple boards):

I have an original Uno board that shows me an additional serial port and this board allows me to upload a script properly. I also have a Leonardo board that works as well.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Nevermind. It was a driver issue - uploaded the SciLabs driver and it works fine now. I have no explanation for why everything worked before on the same machine (where did the drivers go????) but it's working now.
