New ItsyBitsy Not Recognized by Win11

[midwestmikey]

Just got the ItsyBitsy M4 Express. Plugged it into my computer, nothing happens. The board gets a green breathing light but nothing else. I’m new so learning as I go. I’ve tried different cables and 2 different computers, neither see it pop on. Nothing in the explorer window, nothing in device manager.

Hi, have you followed the startup guide ? https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... sybitsy-m4
Boards ship with a test/demo code on it, you typically need to put it in bootloader mode (double-click reset) before it's detected by Arduino the first time, or to install Circuitpython.
When you put it in bootloader mode, the status LED should be solid green (USB found) or solid red (USB not found).
If it's red, check that your USB cable does data and not just charging. Many first connection issues come from bad USB cables.

Thank you for the help. Turns out all 3 cables I had were charge only, no data. Works like a charm with the correct cable.
