avrdude done.  Thank you.

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

I've followed the sparkfun pro micro instructions, but I keep getting this error.

Inside the device manager, it reads it as a communication port.

You will need a reset button between the reset pin of the Pro Micro and GND; alternatively you can use a wire.

To check if a bootloader is present in the Pro Micro, check device manager while double tapping the reset button (or quickly shorting the reset pin to ground twice with the wire).

COM6 should disappear and another COM port should show up. In below imnages it changes from COM9 to COM12 (and later back again to COM9).

If that indeed shows the boot loader, you can perform an upload; double tap the reset button when the IDE reports the below
