I had my mrkwifi 1010 connecting yesterday. Today it will not connect at all. I have noticed if I plug a Arduino NANO in to the usb port it says it's connected to com3, if I then plug my mrk wifi into the same usb skt it says I'm connected to com5 and will not connect.
Which ever usb slot I connect the mrk into it still says com 5???
Can anyone help
I go through the steps of setting it up and get to configure when it just bombs out and says there is a problem
Hi Alan.
Which steps ?
From where ?
Etc.
i have the same problem. my MKR wifi1010 was working fine yesterday 6/4/2020 and this morning i am getting the "could not find board on the selected port" error. resetting the board didn't work so tried my UNO on that PC and it connected. then tried my MKR wifi1010 on a different PC and same "could not find the board" error occurred. nothing is currently attached to the board except the micro usb. the green power LED is on. i am not able to select the port from the IDE as it is greyed out. i've restarted the computers without success. did something update overnight? did i fry the board? is there a way to check if the board is functioning still? not sure what to do next.
Can I presume you did the double reset tap to put it into bootloader mode on a new COM port ?
As mentioned in the posts at the top of this section ?
yes. i did single tap, double tap, held down for 30sec. did these before and after pressing the upload button but no luck. the power light comes on but that is it. no annoying windows7 beep that a peripheral has been plugged into the USB port. and the charger light doesn't come on (when plugged into usb or when plugged into an external solar 5V USB charger)
error msg = Couldn't find a Board on the selected port. Check that you have the correct port selected. If it is correct, try pressing the board's reset button after initiating the upload.
Tools -> Port is grayed out.
And did you go through the links at the top of the section too ?
Does device manager show anything at all ?
If not and you have tried a proper usb cable = data and power not just power as used by most phones etc. then there is a good chance it was fried somehow.
Mine have been pretty sturdy in the power aspect as I use them to test many different things but I dont abuse the power rails (ever) as they are only 3.3 volt devices with a regulator for the USB 5 volt side.
The only thing I did was left it switched on over night connected to the usb lead. But surely it is safe to do that !

That should not have caused any issues at all.
Are you 100% sure the lead is DATA AND POWER ?
Yes yesterday it just started to work and connect. today I'm in the web editor and it's saying trying to connect in 500 milliseconds failed and just keeps trying but not connecting. the wifi password and name haven't changed and the wifi works on the pc I'm working on
Right if i reconfigure the board I can get the wifi to work , but if I reload my web edit code it stops working again.
This is the simple code, it compiles and loads fine

Right I can set my mkr wifi 1010 up using the get stated project in the hub and switch the on board led on and off.
When I down load a program into it from the web editor it can not connect to the wifi. the name of the wifi and password are correct in the secret tab.
I am completely perplexed
Right got that sorted on to the next problem it's now saying error please verify thing id ????
What was the actual issue you fixed Alan ?
Just in case others have similar issues.
Could you also post your latest sketch too please ?
