Arduino Tools menu settings for Metro Mini

Post by JBenziger »

I have a Metro Mini (Product ID 2590). I was able to connect to it before, but now I cannot. I think I must have changed critical settings in the 'Tools' menu and don't remember the correct ones. Here's what I'm trying without success:
Board: 'Adafruit Metro'
Port: (I only have one choice!) '/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port'
Programmer: 'ArduinoISP'

I know I must have this wrong. Can you set me straight?
Thanks, John

What OS / version are you running? It looks like you are on MacOS based on the devicename you shared for your Bluetooth COMs port. Had you already installed the CP2014 driver on that machine?

Assuming you are using the same data cable and usb port as had worked before you might just need to hit the reset button just before uploading your code. You are looking for a /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART to appear.

In terms of the board name to select from the Arduino IDE Tools drop down you can use Arduino/Genuino Uno as this board is compatible.
