Hey guys,

I want to create a project with bare conductive touch board. before strating that I want to make sure if the board is connected properly by running TouchMP3 project. I have followed the "Get Started" document of Bare Conductive.

  1. But my system is not recognising the board when i connect it.
  2. the COM port for touch board is not shown in device manager.

am i missing somethig? please guide me.
thnx in advance.

Welcome to the forum

That sounds like a good idea

Which Arduino board do you have ?

Please post the test sketch that you are trying to run, using code tags when you do, and a link to where you got it from

Hey @UKHeliBob ,
thank you for the quick response.

I am using Bare Conductive Touch Board(https://www.bareconductive.com/)
this is the code: GitHub - BareConductive/touch-mp3: Bare Conductive MPR121 Touch-to-MP3 Example Code

The board uses a Microchip ATmega32U4 microcontroller and in the details it says

It is similar to the Arduino Leonardo board and can be programmed using the Arduino IDE.

Did you read and follow How To Change The Code On The Touch Board With The Arduino IDE – Bare Conductive

I have done the whole process they have shown on website
But still the i could not upload the code in Arduino. Don't know why?

If Windows does not recognise your board, there is a chance that you're using a charge-only cable. Try another cable that is known to work as data cable, e.g. one that comes with a cellphone for data transfer.
