Trinket M0 not detected

Post by Chendog »

Hi, I am using the Trinket M0 and struggling to get it to access it from my computer. I have tried on both Windows 10 and MacOS 11.7.3 with no luck on either. For Windows I made sure to install the necessary driver and followed the usual process for an Adafruit SAMD board. For MacOS I did the same - I have previously used the Feather M0 on this laptop with no concerns.

The device connects OK, see attached image after running "ioreg IOUSB", and enters bootloader mode (red flashes) but is not detected on Arduino IDE nor is it visible in Finder/Device Manager. I have tried to use CircuitPython, but I cannot transfer the .UF2 file since I cannot access the Trinket.

I understand that the Trinket has some issues with USB3.0, so I have used a USB3.0->USB2.0 adapter for all attempts.

Many thanks for any help

Based on the product ID, that is not a Trinket M0. It is an older (origianl) Trinket:

This is the Trinket M0:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3500

The Trinket you have will *not* be able to run CircuitPython. A Trinket M0 could though.

For Arduino, make sure you're installing the correct Board Support Package and selecting the correct board in the Arduino IDE.

However, also note that the older style Trinkets are now deprecated. (see product)
