Feather 32u4 Proto port disappears after each upload

Post by afedorov »

Feather 32u4 Proto port disappears after each upload. It hasn't happened before. Now I need to press reset twice and guess the moment to press it 3rd time.

I am using Mac OS 13.1

I saw posts that talks about getting to bootloader mode with double reset click but I rarely can do it right, and it is not a reliable long term solution.

Is there a way to fix it? Burn new bootloader or something else?

Try going back to the basic Blink example sketch and see if that helps.

Once the Blink sketch is loaded, try just changing the blink rate and reuploading. See if those uploads work better.
