You can see that there is a switch between the usb port and the programming port. It's also possible to put the device into programming mode manually with the reset button, but it needs to be timed correctly.

cattledog · August 1, 2024, 12:23am

You do not need to select any programmer. None should be selected.

ectorplays · August 1, 2024, 12:28am

from the looks of it my board does not have a programing button do i have to maybe jump two pins for this?

also the app will not let me select " NONE" in the program list like i dont see that option

cattledog · August 1, 2024, 12:39am

Yes, look at the spark fun documentation for the Pro Micro. You can jumper rst to gnd.

When a Pro Micro is externally reset (by pulling the RST pin low), it'll only briefly (<750ms) start the bootloader before continuing on to the sketch. If you need the bootloader to run longer, resetting twice quickly will get the Pro Micro to enter bootloader mode for eight seconds.


Pro Micro and Fio v3	Pro Micro, Fio v3, and any SparkFun Atmega32U4-based board reset functionality. Press reset twice, quickly to enter bootloader mode.

Resetting the Pro Micro's, in particular, can be tricky, because there's no reset button. The 'RST' pins needs to be connected to ground to initiate a reset. This can be done with a small piece of wire, or an externally connected button.

the app will not let me select " NONE" in the program list like i don't see that option

The Ide/avrdude will ignore any selection you make.
If you close and reopen the ide, and selection will go away.

Can you load a program now, or are you still having issues?

ectorplays · August 1, 2024, 12:52am

are you wanting me to enter boot loader mode?

cattledog · August 1, 2024, 1:00am

No. Let the ide put the device into bootloader mode with the 1200 bps touch.

I'm not clear why you got the last error message you did about not being able to open COM 12.

ectorplays · August 1, 2024, 1:02am

yeah that access denied is what started all of this from the start

do you think this could be a chip issue i got it off of amazon it updated with no problem though thats why im so confused

ectorplays · August 1, 2024, 1:04am

What should this be should i uninstall this stuff?

cattledog · August 1, 2024, 1:17am

I don't have any experience with the Pro Micro, but I think you want to use the Sparkfun boards package, and not the Arduino board package from 1.8.6.

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pro-micro--fio-v3-hookup-guide/all

You will then be able to select the Pro Micro from the Sparkfun AVR boards in the tools for board selection.

thanks agian for all of your help im not really sure what to do im gonna tackle this tomorrow again

StefanL38 · August 1, 2024, 6:46am

Please try again the Old Arduino IDE 1.8.19.
My IDE has different colors but it IS IDE 1.8.19

When choosing a board there should be an option

Leonardo

.

and in IDE 1.8.19 choosing no programmer looks like this
There is simply NO black point left of any entry

You seem to fiddle around with a lot of options but you are not describing to what you have adjusted what.

Usually the COM-port-number is given by windows. You don't have to adjust this manually
Once You had COM256. Did you adjust this manually?

In the device-manager you have an entry

That is where the weirdness starts.
Did you adjust this name manually ?
or
did windows itself choose this name?

Do you have a second microcontroller ?

sterretje · August 1, 2024, 7:01am

Step 1

Open Windows device manager.
Double tap the reset button on the Pro Micro (or use a wire).
The entry in Windows device manager should change for approximately 8 seconds.
If it doesn't, you will have to burn the bootloader.

If the above gives you the bootloader on a certain port, you can continue.

Step 2

Start the IDE (1.8.x).
The selected port is irrelevant but COM1 is a safe bet; the port must exists in the IDE.
Start the upload of an innocent sketch (e.g. new).
Double tap the reset button on the Pro Micro when the IDE reports the memory usage or when you see the lines PORTS {COM1, COM11, } / {COM1, COM11, } => {}

ectorplays · August 1, 2024, 5:57pm

it will not let me turn off the programer

ptillisch · August 1, 2024, 5:59pm

Please forget about the Tools > Programmer menu selection. The menu selection only has an effect when you do an "Upload Using Programmer" or "Burn Bootloader" operation. It has absolutely no effect when you do a normal upload.

So it makes absolutely no difference what you have selected from this menu and the programmer selection has absolutely nothing to do with the error you are experiencing when attempting to upload to your board.
