What guide? If you have trouble with a sparkfun guide, why not post on sparkfun's forum?

You need to explain what "didn't work" means.

Well, I thought I solved the problem.

I saw a video on YouTube where he used the mega board as ISP programmer.

So, I opened the sketch and it's set to work with the uno board. So:

  1. I connected the uno with the pro micro
  2. Uploaded the code to the uno board
  3. Disconnected the uno board and connected the micro board
  4. When I disconnected the rst pin in the micro, it surprisingly worked and windows started to install the driver

Then ,, something happened !!

The usb disconnected and connected undesirably .. after that windows can't recognize the micro anymore !!

is it gone?

I'm trying to upload a code ,, no result because windows still not recognizing it!!
