Metro not registering in arduino ide

Post by Naidesign »

Hi I’m having problems with a metro board. It will not recognize and does not give com 4 port option. I am doing a simple capacitive touch project. I have it running on an uno and want to do the same exact thing on the metro. The guides say to choose uno.
The lights light up. I have reset and I am using a data cable.

Does your PC respond at all when the Metro is plugged in? Like make a "something connected" ding! sound?

So the PC is at least seeing the board.

Did you install the CP210x drivers? See link on product page:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/50
Mac & Windows People! Don't forget to grab & install the CP2014 VCP drivers from SiLabs to make the COM/Serial port show up right! The default drivers may not support this USB/Serial chip
