Circuit not mass storage

Post by cbbaseball55 »

I purchased a Circuit Playground and I began coding in Arduino CC, but I now want to switch to MakeCode. The device is no longer recognized as a mass storage device on my computer, so I cannot complete the flash reset I found online. I have tried multiple computers and USB cords to no avail. How can I reformat my board to accept MakeCode? Thank you for your help!

How does the Circuit Playground behave when you double-click the reset button?

The red light (labeled D13) comes on, pulsates a little bit and turns off. None of the other lights come on and the board is never available on my computer during this process.

When I load code in through the Arduino software, the code seems to load without any issue.

Try uploading this sketch to it:

https://github.com/adafruit/uf2-samdx1/ ... ruit.5.ino

That should write the UF2 bootloader back to where it belongs.

Thank you. The file did not work. Upon further research, it looks like I have a classic board that will not allow me to use MakeCode. Thank you for your time.
