Trinket v5

Post by cc83816 »

I am trying to program the Trinket for a wagging tail found on your website. I have tried multiple computers, tried several cables, and purchased a new cable. I have updated and downloaded drivers on my windows and have tried using a rolled back version of Arduino. I can't get either of my computers to recognize the Trinket. It will turn on and there is power to the board but the Windows computer is saying it's not recognized and ports will not appear on either of them. Is it possible I have a bad board?

Just to check, is the guide/project you are following?
https://learn.adafruit.com/really-simpl ... troduction

It looks like it is calling out the older Trinket model. Most likely, you're running into the general issue with that board being dated. See the deprecation warning at the top of product page:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/1501

That guide should be updated to use the newer Trinket M0 model:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3500
or at least have a warning call out that it is using deprecated hardware.

If you were following some other guide that was referencing the older Trinket, please link to it.
