5V Pro Trinket programmer not responding

Post by thanby »

I'm trying to upload a simple sketch to a new 5V Pro Trinket but even after hitting the reset button on it during the upload, I keep getting errors about the programmer not responding. It tries 10 times before quitting. Looking at the output I think the IDE might be stuck on the wrong programmer. I have the proper board and USBtinyISP selected but the output says the programmer is "arduino". I've tried switching it back and forth from other programmers and re-opened the sketch completely but the results are the same. What am I doing wrong?

Here's the dump of the output:

avrdude done. Thank you.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

It should be telling you this:

Code: Select all

        Using Port                    : usb
         Using Programmer              : usbtiny
Which board type do you have selected? You should select the Pro Trinket (USB) board type. Looks like you have the Pro Trinket (FTDI) board type selected.

That was the problem, I was selecting the FTDI board. I didn't notice there were two options for that model. Thanks for the help!
