Trying to get a new Feather 328P up and running. In the middle of the little critter running a NeoPixel demo, it stopped working. I tried re-loading the Sketch and I see this:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
[so on and so forth....]
I've tried loading the sketch to two other Feather boards, and they work like a charm, so I've ruled out the USB cable. On the working boards I see what I expect, the RX and TX LEDs blink several times when I load a sketch. However, with this board the RX blinks periodically with no blinking by the TX LED.
In addition, the charge LED blinks far more rapidly when the USB power is applied than compared to the other boards.
The only thing connected to the board is the USB cable and two low-profile headers.
Might this be a problem with the bootloader?
Are there additional troubleshooting I should be doing or do I have a defective board on my hands?

Re: Feather 328P not talking back when loading a sketch
Set the verbose options for compile and upload and post the output here. you can also try pressing the reset button while the uploader is looking for the com port. Take a look at the tutorial to make sure you haven't forgotten something.

Re: Feather 328P not talking back when loading a sketch
Tried hitting the reset button to no avail. First thing I did was go back to Blink example, it compiles fine, but can't be loaded. The com port shows up as /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART when I do a ls /dev/cu* so it's there. And again, things work with two other feathers, so that rules out USB cable.franklin97355 wrote:Set the verbose options for compile and upload and post the output here. you can also try pressing the reset button while the uploader is looking for the com port.

Re: Feather 328P not talking back when loading a sketch
What board are you selecting to compile for?

Re: Feather 328P not talking back when loading a sketch
This was resolved with a replacement 328P feather that works like a charm. Happy camper.
