unable to load sketch with circuitpython installed

Post by marklb »

I am trying to install an Arduino sketch on a Trinket MO that currently has circuitpython installed. The Arduino IDE fails to program the trinket and displays the following error messages:

Sketch uses 11094 bytes (34%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 594 bytes (29%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1454 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00


I am able to get into the bootloader and there is a trinketboot drive displayed. Also the IDE did identify the board as a Trinket MO (samd).

I know this worked at least once before. After receiving the trinket I was able to overwrite circuitpython with a sketch without any problems. I then reloaded the latest circuitpython to do some additional test and I have not been able to upload a sketch since.

The only other thing I can think of is that I attempted to load a mpy library that was too large for the trinket. I ended up reloading circuitpython and removing the library but unfortunately it did not help.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like you are selecting the older Trinket board in the Arduino IDE. Be sure to select the Trinket M0 found under the Adafruit SAMD entry:

Thank you. That was the issue.
I apologize for not responding sooner. For some reason I never received a notification that a response was posted.
