Flora not showing serial ports on MAC OSX

Post by mabeachtx »

Brand new Flora was working last week, but stopped.
Attached file, shows the Drop-down menu on Arduino that shows serial ports greyed out and I cannot select it.
The second screenshot shows my System Report that is finding the Flora on the USB.
And, the red light on the Flora doesn't come on.
I've tried resetting it with the on-board reset button but nothing happens.
I've turned everything off multiple times and unplugged and replugged everything multiple times.
I've changed the USB cable to 5 different ones and nothing happens different.

Help!
Thank you!

Hi! Same problem here on osx, worked earlier this morning. Had a problem not run as expected (blinkin led stopped blinking) and after that I can't seem to find the usb connection in the Arduino IDE.

Once after a reset it showed up but I still wasn't able to connect and after attempting to connect it disappeared again. I haven't been able to find it again after that despite several attempts with the same and different cables, updating arduino ide, updating libraries, setting uploader to verbose and trying the suggestion in the faq below:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-fea ... aq-2704880

Reset leds blink as expected.

Any suggestions?

I don’t think Flora is a large enough processor for LED strips. I moved the whole project to Circuit Playground and it works beautifully. See attached image.

@skillyocean Please start a new thread for your issue.

@mabeach Sorry we missed your original post. Looks like you've (beautifully) moved on to a different board. If you want to try to solve the original issue with the FLORA, we can give that a try.
