Using the Arduino Giga R1 Wifi: DFU error

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi, I am using the arduino Giga R1 Wifi to power gear motors, and I'm experiencing USB communication errors between my computer and the Giga. Whenver I try to upload code from the IDE to the board, I get errors related to a DFU suffix.

When I look in device manager, it lists the board as an unknown USB device (Device descriptor request failed). I tried rebooting the board (double clicking reset) and forcing in into DFU mode (hold boot while clikcing reset) and it still does not upload the code to the Giga without errors.

I also tried updating its driver through device manager and it says it already has the best driver availible. So I downloaded Zadig to install a different driver. When I click on the uknown USB device, Zadig says it has no driver (contrary to what device manager says), but it fails whenever I try to install any of the drivers.

Reinstalling the IDE through the arduino launcher did not work either.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Disconnect that load, motor. Microcontrollers are not built to supply power unless some few LED, or low current sensors.

I am using an external power supply and breadboard. The arduino is simply recieving code from my computer and sending it to the encoder motors. There should not be an issue with my setup as I have used it with the arduino mega before for the exact same purpose
