I have read the posts on the metro mini not uploading. I have two metro minis and neither will upload. I'm running Windows 10 x64. All of the correct drivers are installed. Uno is selected as the board. The uploader times out after 10 tries. I have the correct com port selected. I bought two nanos and the program uploads to them fine.
Any suggestions. BTW I bought the Metro minis several years ago and I have kept them in stock until I had a project to use them on.

Re: Metro Mini not uploading
Enable verbose messages during upload in the Arduino IDE’s preferences, try an upload, and post the output from the debug window between CODE tags please.

Re: Metro Mini not uploading
Do you see anything in the Device Manager when you connect the Metro Mini using a known-good USB cable?

Yes I see the com port for metro mini appear. It disappears when I unplug the usb cable

Re: Metro Mini not uploading
That’s a good sign.
The “programmer not responding” issue usually means the IDE is having trouble connecting to the COM port. The page from StackOverflow lists several things that have fixed it:

Re: Metro Mini not uploading
Hi
I have the latest AVRDUDE I have tried both old and new FTDI drivers. I could not find any reference to a Metro Mini on the suggested forum a lot
was directed to the UNIX operating system. Tried multiple suggestions that were on the forum. Still no RX TX lights on the board
These Metro minis are the only adafruit product that I have had a problem with.

Re: Metro Mini not uploading
Does a manual reset while the IDE is trying to upload have any effect?

Re: Metro Mini not uploading
I tried that and there is no effect. I even tried working with a Windows 8.1 computer with all of the drivers loaded and still the same results.

Re: Metro Mini not uploading
Thank you for trying it.
Let’s check the driver details: are you using the VLSI driver or the SiLabs CP2104 driver?
