Metro Mini Upload Failing

Post by chrissantamaria99 »

Hi,
Just received my Metro Mini a few days ago. Had some driver problems initially, but a combination of the FTDI SiLabs drivers while setting the IDE to the normal Uno board seemed to work fine when uploading a blink sketch. However, after changing from what I can remember nothing, the board has stopped responding. The blink sketch does not run when I give it power, but the green power LED is constantly lit. When I try to upload any sketches, I can faintly see the RX LED flash for a second but then stop. After a few retries the IDE gives this error:

Code: Select all

Arduino: 1.8.2 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Sketch uses 928 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Problem uploading to board.  See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
I don't think this is a driver issue, since I didn't change anything from before and I've tried several driver installs on different computers. The board shows up as a normal COM device in Device Manager of Windows 10. The board is soldered onto a perf board, but I don't see any bridged connections (again, don't remember even touching any joints when this error came up). The reset button also seems to do nothing at this point.

Any ideas?

Is there anything attached to the Metro Mini? If so, try it with noting attached.

Does the metro mini show up in the list of COM ports?

The the LED fade in and out when you press the reset button? Or does it blink?

Nothing is attached, but it is soldered onto a perf board (I don't see any bridging).
It is detected as a COM device.
The LED is a solid green, and the reset button doesn't seem to have any effect.

Hmmm. Doesn't sound good. Please email [email protected] with a link to this post for a replacement Metro Mini
