I've read online that you supposed to get it into the bootloader mode the first time to upload sketches to it (Arduino), but I cannot for the life of me get it into bootloader mode! According to the adafruit-qt-py-2040.pdf manual online, it says to:
The problem is, no drive ever appears! I've tried and tried and tried. I'm beginning to wonder if the BOOT button isn't working. I know the Reset button is working, because the neopixel LED goes off momentarily when I press the reset button. I also know the USB-A to USB-C cable I'm using is a known good cable for both power and data transfer, I even tested it with another microcontroller to be sure (an ESP32, not a 2040).hold down the BOOT/BOOTSEL button, and while continuing to hold it (don't let go!), press and release the reset button, Continue to hold the BOOT/BOOTSEL button until the RPI-RP2 drive appears!
Any ideas?
