Problem uploading to ADAFRUIT Feather 32u4 using Arduino 2.1

Post by Alexander28 »

Hi all,

Long time fan of the technology, first time user of the forum.

Currently using a Windows 10 box, with Arduino 2.1 and the following board, from RS Components:

ADAFRUIT Feather 32u4 Development Board 2829
Screenshot 2023-04-25 at 13.18.57.png
Screenshot 2023-04-25 at 13.18.57.png (340.16 KiB) Viewed 126 times
Long story short, I used to be able to upload to the board, and now it just hangs at the upload screen, then after 4-5 mins, gives me the below error.

I have used different USB Cables, USB ports and even computers, same issue. I am wondering if i am doing something silly...

This is what i am getting:

"Sketch uses 10934 bytes (38%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.

Global variables use 885 bytes of dynamic memory.

Connecting to programmer: .avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding"

Had a read of this too:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/492 ... responding

have tried the 'reset button' before programming, getting the red pulsing light indicating it is resetting, and then tried the upload, still nothing...

Anyone know where i am going wrong?

Really appreciate any help, thank you all!

First thing to double check is the board being selected in the Arduino IDE. Make sure it's the correct one under Tools->Board.

If that's correct, and it's still not working, it could be an issue with whatever the last uploaded sketch was. In that case, try this:

Finally got my head round it. I had to press the reset button twice during compile time and then it would load.
New to me, thanks for the help.
