Help with Flora Initial Setup

Post by SquidMeal »

Hi all. just purchased an Adafruit Flora and I'm experiencing some issues with setup. I'm not at my computer right now, so apologies that I can't give exact error messages, I can update those later today.

On plugging the device in via USB the red light begins flashing, indicating the board is receiving power. When I try to upload a sketch I get an error saying that the board is not detected on the selected port, though the Arduino IDE clearly is able to identify it on that port by name (COM Adafruit Flora). I appears normally in the Windows Device Manager as well. Arduino IDE is able to pull board information from the port and tell me that there is a Flora connected.

I found some reports that this can be remedied by pressing the reset button as a sketch is uploaded. This works and gets the code to begin transferring, but when it tries to connect to the butterfly programmer it is unable to establish a connection.

I've also read that putting a USB 2.0 hub in between the computer and the device has removed this problem for some people. Verification of this method working would be appreciated. I'm currently tracking one of those down, and am open to other suggestions

Thanks in advance for the help, please let me know what other information could be helpful in remedying this and I'll do my best to post it.

When you get a chance set the preferences to verbose for compile and upload and then post the error log here. Please use code tags when posting code or logs to the forums. It preserves formatting and makes it easier for everyone to read the code. Click the code button above the reply box and past your code between the tags created.
