Im think I might have bricked my Uno by disabling the driver. When I attempt to enable it in the device manager it errors with "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Anyone have any suggestions?
I don't believe disabling the driver could cause any damage to your board.Much likely to be a windows problem, try to reboot, change USB port ...
You can not brick it by disabling the driver. Code 10 is the common Prolific PL2303 error. Does it indeed have a PL2303 chip? Or a genuine ATmega16u2?
The board is an infiduino. So I am not sure what the chip is on that board.
I have rebooted, reinstalled drivers, updated drivers..., nothing seems to change after disabling the device. Most of the time the board won't connect, it unknown device, it can't determine device type. The only way I can get it to even register most the of time is to hole the reset while connecting.
All of this happened immediately after I disabled the device. I had been using it for several weeks with no problems.
... I figured that most cables are the same.... they are not! A different cable made everything work... Between the disable and enable I must have switched cables. NOTE: the disable did affect the ability to connect. I needed to use the reset to get it to connect to enable the device again...
Hopefully someone else will that the cable suggestion seriously!!!!
