Not able to Upload to Flora

Post by jtcatt99 »

Just hooked up a Flora to my Windows 7 laptop. After installing drivers as directed, I can't get the example LED blink to upload. Tried the reset trick and attaching external power to get a little farther. It gets close, but always ends with:

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: error: programmer did not respond to command: exit bootloader
avrdude done. Thank you.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

For installing the Windows drivers, were you following this?
https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-star ... dows-setup
Did you also install the Arduino board support package?

Does Windows make any kind of sound when you plug the Flora in? Does anything show up in device manager?

Yes it makes the usual sound as if the flora is being disconnected. Looks like it is removed and put back in device manager when you attempt to program.

Anyway you can share a screen capture of what your device manager looks like and shows with the board plugged in. That would really help in understanding what Windows might be doing in terms of dealing with the basic connection with the Flora.

Tried Everything including:
High Quality USB Cable, multiple different ports
Reset right as upload starts (like 20 times)
External Power (Batterypack)
While (!Serial)
At this point, I'm thinking of giving up. Any other suggestions. Better O/S to try?
Thanks

Do you have any of this software installed?

What version of the Arduino IDE are you using? (it got covered up in the PDF)

can you post a screenshot of your Arduino Tools menu so we see what you have selected for board/port/etc?
