New Metro 328 Not Connecting

Post by JosephESheridan »

Hi all - I just received a Metro 328 and it isn't connecting to my computer (Mac) via USB. One I purchased a few months ago is connecting just fine and I have no problems uploading programs, so I don't believe it's the computer, drivers, or connections on my end. When connected, the green "ON" power light illuminates, but the red "L" light will blink approx once a second. Any advice? Or is this possibly just a bad board? (I'm fairly new to this, so please be gentle!)
Thanks.

The board seems ok, at least internally. It appears to be running the blink demo, and is getting power just fine.

Confirm that the cable you're using with it works with a different board.

"Isn't connecting" means a new device doesn't show up in /dev? It doesn't show up in the Arduino port list?

It wasn't showing up in the port list. But I had to update my OS for a completely separate issue and now it's working just fine. Figures. Thanks for your help regardless!

I wonder what Mac OSX did he upgrade to that made it work? I'm using 10.14.6. Not working for me.
