Wow. I've spent HOURS trying to get my Trinket Pro 5V to program over USB and FTDI, here it was the USB 3.0 port all along! I've never been so happy to be able to flash a simple Blink sketch - THANK YOU!

This is almost 2020 here to thank you. This made my program work on my cosplay. 10/10 Liked

Thank you for re-visiting your video, exploring the "Preferences", the programmer type, and emphasizing that the AT-Tiny needs to be blinking RED-LED, slowly, in order to accept our new code upload: Bravo sir! I can now program 8 pin parts thanks to your video!!!

Took me a few tries but it worked for me. Thanks for the video. I was about to toss it in the trash.

Your good. No. Your good. Can't remember what movie that was in but it is a great way to say you nailed it, again. Got up this morning turned on the PC and read your thoughts removed the DFU culprits and bam, the trinket is uploading sketches, so many times I am afraid I might blow the little guy up. Thanks again Kevin. I too will learn to grasp at straws. Had to add, the two particle devices in dfu mode were not connected to the usb ports and only showed up because the "show hidden" was checked. This might help anyone else with this problem how to see the hidden items.

Terrific. Thanks for uploading. Exactly what I needed to get started with Trinket

Great video! After an hour of troubleshooting I watched your video and figured out what I was doing wrong. I didn't have USBtinyISP selected. Doh! Thanks!

thank you very much! now i am able to connect the trinket! :)

I followed all your steps but when I try to upload using programmer I keep getting "Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)". It is strange because when I click "Get Board info" it does find the board.

Thank you for your help, thumb up :)

OK I am back now that I have the Raspi end working (thanks to Kevin) now will try and get the dryer node working. Had to de-solder the RFM69 so fingers crossed it still works.

If you, like me, were trying to use the Trinket under Windows 10 then you may run into some problems. When plugging the Trinket into the USB I don't get the pulsing red LED and Windows 10 doesn't recognize it in system USB ports. Yes I tried the latest drivers from Adafruit, lots of different cables and USB-2 socket on my PC. Seems the Trinket board is just too old for WIN 10. When I tried Kevin's config' on a Windows 7 laptop it all worked as described in the video. Tip when loading the Blink sketch remember to change the LED pin from pin 13 to pin 1.

I am super annoyed. I purchased their goggle kit with the neopixel rings. I assumed they would send the trinket Mo but they sent the 5v. This is my first build and I am lost. I have gone through the forums but I cannot get my trinket into boot mode. I hit reset and it turns solid red for 10 seconds then fades out. I have seen something on the site about forcing a hard reboot, but honestly it is gibberish to me. I did get Arduino set up to function like you did however still no boot mode. Any help? You are good at explaining things and I find the form to be very confusing as everyone is well versed in this and I do not understand the lingo.

I think i am a step further, but when i connect my Pro Trinket to my PC, only the green LED lights up (not blinking), even after pressing the button, no red or blinking LED What did i wrong?

Hi Kevin, my first time venturing into coding since High School so thank you very much for the video. I was having problems getting arduino to recognise the board. I've followed your tutorial up to the Board Manager step and although I've added the .json, any attempt to search for adafruit will only arduino AVR boards v1.8.2. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?

You twice asked for a comment on what the equivalent shortcut is on Windows. Sorry I don't know. But you did not mention Linux. On Linux the shortcut is indeed control-shift-U and the folder for the adafruit software downloads you are later vague about are put in a hidden folder in $HOME such as ~/.arduino15.

Thanks for the suggestion , now I am able to get all the libraries for Adafruit Trinket. Well, I am trying to integrate joystick as mouse using adafruit trinket 5V, 16Mhz. When I compile program, i get error saying that: 'Mouse' not found. Does your sketch include the line '#include'. Well, my program does consist #include. Also, I have included trinket mouse library in my program. Can you suggest me the possible solutions to it? Thanks!

How to get output in console from trinket? Also you have not mentioned the url of the library branch you are using

Be sure to avoid hubs, for me trinket m0 works via direct usb connection only

Just to add to the confusion on the windows machine noticed there were two paths to librarys; C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries C:\Users\me\Documents\Arduino\libraries

Please help!I can´t upload any sketch to the trinket. There always stands: Please select a port before uploading. Not exactly that, because i am german and translated it, but i hope you are able to help me anyway.Thanks!

Have not found a solution but did notice something odd. When ever I press the reset button on the trinket to upload sketch I would have at the same time the Device Manager open (Windows). And the drivers for the USBtiny would ghost or in other words show as not loaded. Just happen to catch during the intermittent successful uploads that the drivers for the USBtiny did not ghost. It appears for some unknown reason after plugging-in or resetting the trinket the device drivers fade as if to say we are not loaded and the down side is that is exactly when you need them as it is your 10 second window for loading your sketch. After the 10 second window expires the drivers again show up and functioning but the upload has already failed. This only happens with the USBtiny drivers. Tested USB drive, mouse, keyboard, cell phones and they all worked as advertised. Not sure what to do now except search the web for that golden nugget and deal with my headache later.

Do you know how to use the GPIO from a raspberryPi to pretend to be a HDD? And yes I simply mean using a Pi as a big dumb HDD (even if that seems wasteful). The reason I ask is because the amiga retro community use CompactFlash cards for a hard-drive (HD0) on the amiga (e.g. an amiga 'a1200' or an 'a600' or an 'a500 with a TF530 expansion'), and yet CF cards are more rare these days, and a temperamental and just kinda suck a bit. A Pi however could thereby be scripted to do tricks like making files appear or vanish from the amiga HDD which it is pretending to be. It would also be very cool to have a Pi pretend to be a CDROM drive on an amiga (aka "CD0"), or for that matter to also be able to convert a USB CDROM drive via the Pi's usb port to work in the IDE of the amiga (e.g. an a500 with a TF530 installed).

Got desperate to get this trinket loaded with the code so dusted off an old macbook running 10.7 which was right at the cutoff for ability to run IDE. Got it set up linked to Adafruits URL , selected trinket board and programmer USBtinyISP, loaded Blink then pushed the reset button with the trinket plugged into the usb port on the Mac and failed to compile. Ran just a compile and got failed to compile. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Not sure what to think. Intermittent sketch uploads to trinket. Traced USB cable back to USB 2.0 port and connected directly to the PC(window8.1). Using programmers upload tried again, error could not find device paraphrasing. OK, lets find that backup trinket. Once installed and setup to program mode(pulsing red LED) launched upload using programmer. Response failed to find device. Hmm maybe the drivers are corrupted? Uninstalled and re-installed drivers for USBTiny. Checked settings in IDE all were set properly. Fail same reason. Went through the reinstall of the drivers and tried again, fail. Kept trying till I got successful upload although the green bar never completes just the red text thanking me. Got a few more intermittent loads then out of nowhere started getting consistent uploads of sketches. At this point just pushed my chair away from the desk and decided it was time to go out and smell the roses for awhile. Not sure what to expect but will plug in the original trinket and see if it has success. Forgot to mention for these tests used the simple blink sketch.

Just dawned on me never used a RaspberryPi.

where's the link in the URL?

how to fix this error? please help me, thanks. avrdude: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)

Spent the day loading vnc on raspi and client on windows8 painfully slow. But it works. Do you just load the script onto the raspi and run it? Not sure what goes where for example the docker-pi-python-iot-master and texting_dryer_gateway-master folders go? Reviewing your write at the url below. www.kevinsidwar.com/projects/texting-dryer

Well I had the RFM69 device board in my hand then like magic "Poof" it was gone. Still wondering what I did with it looked everywhere. Looks like this is one of those days. Oh and just for laughs look at this one site where I found the device for sale: Dam for got you can't post pics here. Have a look at what they wanted from them: www.electrokit.com/en/rfm69hcw-434mhz-transceiver.54122
