So I bought a cheap Chinese Arduino Pro Micro recently and I just got around messing with it, the only problem is I can't upload code to it, it keeps on disconnecting while I was programming it through the IDE and whatsoever, even I tried programming it through XLoader, it still didn't work, I tried ArduinoISP to reprogram the bootloader, it still didn't work, it seems like my microcontroller is "bricked up", any ideas how I can solve this problem? I followed the wiring schematics with the photo attached below, the only thing is, it didn't specify the capacitance of the capacitor, so I ended up grabbing a 100uf, 16v capacitor for flashing the bootloader, I am not sure if that is the problem.
Please do this:
- (In the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences
- Uncheck the checkbox next to "Show verbose output during: compilation"
- Check the checkbox next to "Show verbose output during: upload
- Click "OK"
- Sketch > Upload
- After the upload fails, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages" (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper at the top right corner of the black console window in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button.
- In a forum reply here, click on the reply field.
- Click the </> button on the forum toolbar. This will add the forum's code tags markup to your reply.
- Press "Ctrl + V". This will paste the upload output between the code tags.
- Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
Hey pert, thanks for the reply, I reflashed the bootloader once again and it solved the problem, thanks for the help!
I'm glad to hear you fixed the problem. Thanks for taking the time to post an update with your solution. Enjoy!
