Hello everyone!
I can't get my Arduino micro to work, when I try to program it, my Arduino IDE output panel says, "Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = "CATERIN"; type = S
Software Version = 1.0; No Hardware Version given.
Programmer supports auto addr increment.
Programmer supports buffered memory access with buffersize=128 bytes.
Programmer supports the following devices:
Device code: 0x44"
I don't get what's happening.
Thanks to everyone who can help me!
Did it work before? If so, tell us in general terms what you've done since the last time it worked.
@camsysca
it never worked, not 1 time.
Then someone more familiar with the Pro Micro will have to help you, as I don't recognize the error process. I don't even see it in the pick list in the IDE, but this is a plain-vanilla install, so the problem may be at my end.
Good luck!
@camsysca
okay, bye!
I see the originals, is yours theirs, or a clone?
https://www.sparkfun.com/search/results?term=pro+micro
What voltage and clock rate is yours?
mines clock rate is 16MHz, it's 5V, and it's a clone, it's simply labeled "micro".
Arduino also has an Arduino Micro, different number of pins - it isn't one of those, or a clone of one of those? A picture might help.
It's not necessarily an error. The fact that it is displayed in red is probably putting you on the wrong foot..
In IDE 1.x, the bar about the output window will show if an upload succeeded or not; in IDE 2.x, pay attention to the popup and check the notification at the right bottom.
I know it's not working because when I try to upload anything it just shows "Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = "CATERIN"; type = S
Software Version = 1.0; No Hardware Version given.
Programmer supports auto addr increment.
Programmer supports buffered memory access with buffersize=128 bytes.
Programmer supports the following devices:
Device code: 0x44" and the micro board runs it's program from the factory.
Images arent much use, but looks more like:
And there are white clones(read further in the page linked):
If you could improve those images, I might dig further.
here's the board data:
BN: Unknown board
VID 0x1A86
PID 0x7523
SN: (null)
maybe it's faulty?
I think that maybe the case.
as I already followed the steps to set it up, but the Arduino IDE won't program it.
I only have IDE 1.x available; this is a "censored" image of a verbose output of a successful upload and I suspect that the text in the output windows is what you see.
Please enable verbose output during upload and disable verbose output during compilation under file/preferences. Perform an upload of blink and post the output here (please use code tags).
This is the full verbose output from the above screenshot

In IDE 2.x Forcing reset using 1200bps open/close on port /dev/ttyACM1 will be slightly different with no indication of the port detection after that.
Please post your verbose output if needed.
is this right?

That looks OK to me. I suggest that you enable Verify code after upload in file/preferences as well. The will perform a read back and verify of the programmed code. It will give (on success), the below part that was in my earlier output.
PS
You did forget to use code tags 
it works... until i press the reset button, i don't get it.
but as least it works!
it wasn't code, but maybe i should use code tags.
Yes, you should It just make it easier to read and easier to copy. Also the forum software handles it as is. If you look at the output that you provided, it had blocks mixed with normal text because the forum software treats e.g. indentations and e.g. < in a special way.
Code tags are three backticks (``` ) on their own line at the beginning and end of a code block.
You can influence the colour scheme a bit by selecting a language in with the opening code tag. The forum just uses plain ``` and assumes that it's C++ (```cpp) but you can use e.g. ```java if you want to present a piece of java code and you can use ```text for serial monitor output and the compile / upload output (that's what I did) so there is no colouring applied.
