Hello,
I have purchased quite a few Flora boards for a big project, and I have run into three boards now that will power on, but will not Blink on #7 or flash TX or RX. My Sketch that is working fine with other Flora boards will show a grey Port drop down when these certain boards are attached. I have tried resetting and holding reset with power multiple times. I can't ever get it to show up so I can select a port. Any tips?

It seems to be a 1 bad board for every 3 boards so far.

Re: Flora Not Responding
When did you buy the Flora and did they work at any time? Can you post pictures of the Floras that don't work with the package tag so we can investigate the supply?

Re: Flora Not Responding
its been a while since we used a flora, but worth asking - do you need to have it switched ON? can ya try another USB cable/port?

Re: Flora Not Responding
I'll try all that, but it's strange that over 50 boards worked just fine with the USB cable/port i was using, and it didn't matter if they were switched on or not. The switch seems to function as and on/off for when a battery is hooked up to the JST port. I'm at 18 boards now that do no not respond, and 5 that respond but won't take any code.
