Cannot upload to mkr1000 No device found on COM11 Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

Hey i've been having problems with my new arduino mkr1000.

I cannot uplaoad a sketch, even a blank one. The same error accurs: No device found on COM11
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

If i change usb port, arduino IDE says its still connect too the same com port (com11), is this normal? its been a while sice i used arduino...

Any help would be apriciated

Which version of the IDE are you using?

The port should disappear from the IDE if you disconnect the board. What does windows device manager think of your board?

Hey Sterretje, thank for the resonse.

im using Arduino IDE 2.0.4

if i remove the board it indeed dissapears.

the manager says the board is connected to com11

UPDATE: after some rebooting the pc, I can sometimes upload the sketch 1 time. still very annoying tho

When the IDE reports the memory usage, double tap the reset button. That should invoke the bootloader; you can check it in Windows device manager and you should get a slow fading LED on the board.

Use an innocent sketch like blink. When you check in Windows device manager, the port should change; please write down the new port number.

You can enable verbose output during upload and upload a code (e g blink). After a failed upload, right click in the output window and click copy all. Next paste in a reply here.

There are a few reason why it can fail. Problem in the IDE is one, bug in your sketch is another one (hence the use of blink).

Once you can consistently upload blink a number of times without the double tap, you know that the problem is in the last sketch that you did upload. If you always have to use the double tap trick, you know that it's the IDE that is giving you grief.
