Hi,
I was at the SX Create booth with my daughter and we soldered a couple of these boards.

(BTW, Thank you! That was very generous.)
I was able to update one of the boards with new code (just using the sample code and replacing ‘Hello World’ with my own text). When I went to do the same with the other board, it would not recognize the port. (Grayed out in the Arduino IDE and doesn’t show up in Device Manager. I’m running Windows 7.)
I know the drivers are installed correctly because one of the boards uploads fine. When I plug in the board that won’t update, I hear the windows USB ‘plug in’ sound and if device manager is open it tries to refresh. There is power to the board because the built in sketch works but the board is not recognized.
Any ideas? Is there an alternate method of programming?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
