I recently received one of these (order 2987673-1595660334). No LED comes on when I plug it in. I have attempted the setup on both a mac (OSX 12.7.2 Intel mac) and a PC (windows 11 home) and neither case can I get the device recognized after installing the VCP drivers per the guide (https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... nd-python3)
Is there a chance the device could be defective? I am open to me having missed a step but I would expect to at least see one of the LEDS to turn on when plugged in.
Thanks

I don't know much about this device, but I see there's a switch. Is it set the right way for what you're trying to do?

Yeah, ive tried the switch in both CMD, and DAT positions (pretty sure DAT is what I need for trying this out).
Even tried pushing the button. Nothing lights up at all. Nothing showing up in device manager on the windows machine despite the drivers being installed.

OK. Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread, your order number, and request the replacement of one Bluefruit LE Sniffer - Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0) - nRF51822 - Firmware Version 2. Let us know if a new one takes care of the problem.
