Trinket - Can't download. Mac OSX 10.9.2

[michael_lloyd]

This should help with that: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ard ... ot-6-x-ide

[keshishiana]

Thanks now have done a few times on two different mac computer.
still no joy-

[keshishiana]

Just did it again for probably the 4th time- does not give me an option for trinket- probably an obvious error that I do not see !

[michael_lloyd]

The Trinket has to be added. I think I installed the IDE like so:

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ard ... -osx-setup

[keshishiana]

Finally- Worked- had to go to an older version of the ardunio.
Thanks

There is the error massage.

That creates problems for the compiler. Move your sketch out to the regular sketchbook folder.

Thanks! this definitely helped me i was about to throw my trinket in the trash.... in review some things that people (me) might miss... wish i found this a couple hours ago....
1. after adding the adafruit boards url into arduino/preferences device manager, go to tools/board/ Board manager, search for the adafruit avr boards and hit 'install' . this should make it pop up under tools/board.
2.if you reload the bootlogger vbat=bat pin (opposite #9pin on trinket pro) ? i think, correct me if i'm wrong and don't blame me if you brick your trinket (i found the vbat eventually underneath, but this 'worked' when i ran the boot loader i was trying anything since i was 99% sure it was bricked anyways)
3.don't select a port, select tools/ programmer/usbtinyisp
4.use a proper cord, cheap charge only ones dont work....

Thank you. After pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the red led won't pulse I see your last bullet on the last page of posts - use a proper cord - micro USB cable to be precise. Changed cables and works like a champ.

Here's how I got my Trinket to work. Uploaded several sketches. I did a youtube vid to show and explain. July 5th, 2018. This is: Trinket 5v.USB. That is the only i.d. on the package when I got it yesterday. I have a Microsoft Surface running Windows 10. I have found no one to give a full explanation and it took me all day to figure this out and make the video showing how. I think Adafruit would sell more Trinkets if they worked out of the box with detailed info. for us noobs. Feel free to share this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4hz0YkDpRI

I can confirm this is still an issue with Arduino IDE v 1.8.5.

I am using a 2012 MacBook Pro running MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

I was unable to upload a simple blink sketch to a 3V trinket.

After installing Arduino IDE v 1.6.5, I was immediately able to upload a sketch.

EDIT: I was also unable to upload a sketch using v 1.6.5 when directly connected to the Mac. Uploading only worked when plugged into an external powered USB hub. My external hub is USB3.

Hi all:
I'm on a 2015 macbook pro with usb 3 ports. Like many of you, I was not having any success programming the Trinket (#1501) using the Arduino IDE. I also have a 2011 macbook pro with USB 2.0 ports. I switched from 1.8.7 to 1.6.5 on the 2011 mac without success - the Trinket never went into the upload mode ( 10-second blinking red led).

I then noticed the comment about using a proper cable

I cycled through all the cables I have and finally found one that turned on the 10-second blinking red led. It was then that I was able to upload the Blink sketch to it with success on the 2011 mac using 1.6.5.

Then I went back to my 2015 mac (USB 3) with 1.8.7 and successfully uploaded the Blink sketch to it - SUCCESS!!!!

Looks like it's all about the cable - if you don't get the 10-second blink - it will not successfully program - check your cable...
