Problem with Adafruit Feather 32u4 RFM95 LoRa Radio - Defective?

Post by mojojones »

I'm having problems getting the two Adafruit Feather 32u4 RFM95 LoRa Radio boards I received to connect to Arduino IDE. I've tried all the steps in the FAQ, including trying to double click while uploading in verbose mode, but no success. The same setup (Arduino 1.8.19 on RPi 4 with proper cable) works with the Feather 32u4 Adalogger. I see there were earlier post about defective units. What should I do?

What happens when you connect Feather 32u4 to a PC or Laptop? In Windows, look under Device Manager->Ports (COM & LPT). You should see an entry like COM5, or whatever number, come and go as you connect and disconnect the Feather 32u4.

Thanks for your response. Nothing. When I plug the Feather 32u4 RFM95 LoRa in the Device Manager doesn't change, and I don't get that lovely Windows connect tone. With same setup (Windows 10 Home running Arduino 2.0.3 same cable) when I plug the Feather 32u4 Adalogger the Device Manager recognized it and creates a port.

That's well within our 30-day return/replace period, and it sounds like you've done all the DIY-able debugging.

Send a note containing a link to this page and your order number to [email protected]. The folks there will get you a replacement.
