Proximity Trinkey Not Recognized

Post by holmesha »

I am having trouble getting my Mac to recognize the proximity trinkey (APDS9960) when I plug it in. It works fine with pre-programmed code (prox LED's work as do the touchpads), but I can't get the computer to find it. When I double click the reset button it does load bootloader mode, but that is the only way the computer will recognize the board. Any suggestions would be mucho appreciated.

The demo program that's running on it when it arrives is a simple rainbow swirl of the NeoPixels, nothing else. Bootloader is working, so the board seems fine. Just work through the guide and it will show you how to program the board with either Arduino or CircuitPython:
