Hello I'm having trouble with the 3 Flora I purchased on October 15th, 2018. Order No: 1878941-8988437964. I emailed customer support on October 27th with the same issue.
When I plug in these new Flora, I get a green PWR light, but never has that red blinking light activated. I have the board set to Adafruit Flora and select the corresponding COM. When I upload any code, part way through the upload my computer makes a "device disconnected" sound and "Port" goes grey without anything to select. An error message in Arduino follows:
"Couldn't find a Board on the selected port. Check that you have the correct port selected. If it is correct, try pressing the board's reset button after initiating the upload."
The USB cable carries data and my software is up to date as I tested this process on an old Flora and everything uploads fine.
Thank you

Re: Unable to upload code to Flora
If you press reset, what does the red LED do?When I plug in these new Flora, I get a green PWR light, but never has that red blinking light activated.
Does a new com port actually show up when you plug the board in?I have the board set to Adafruit Flora and select the corresponding COM.

Re: Unable to upload code to Flora
Hello - the red light does not turn on when I hit the reset button (it never turns on at all).
A new COM doesn't appear either. The Port is "greyed" out and won't let me select anything. If I unplug the USB and plug it back in, a new COM will show up but the same process repeats itself.

Try this and see if it helps:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-fea ... /faq#faq-4
The Flora is 32u4 based, so the same notional fix applies.

Re: Unable to upload code to Flora
Hello - I tried the manual bootloader and it didn't help. I made sure the board was "Adafruit Flora" and when uploading "Blink" I hit the reset button a several times. Nothing happened on multiple attempts. The upload text was as follows:
Sketch uses 4116 bytes (14%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 149 bytes of dynamic memory.
