HELP!! I killed my RedBoard Turbo in the first 5 mins

Hi

I uploaded a USM keyboard emulation program to my new Sparkfun Redboard Turbo by accident. The program starts by opening the serial port at startup so now I cannot program the board with anything else. I tried double clicking the reset button but this does not work.

Help will be greatly appreciated

When you hit Reset twice the Blue light doesn’t pulse or fade?

It pulses three time’s and then the tx light starts flashing.

My PC doesn’t see the board anymore as a com## device, I even reinstalled windows, still doesn’t work

Do you know if the software you uploaded will alter the bootloader? I’m not familiar with the emulation you put on your device. Is it software we’ve released?

I purchased a new board to check if the problem was with my Windows 10 installation or the board itself

With the new board, I get a port available for programming, but upload does not work with the following error:

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

No device found on COM9

(COM9 is the correct port for the board)

If I open the serial monitor, the board is sending the following:

A5PinSet_results_part1 5: 0

A4PinSet_results_part1 0: 1

A4PinSet_results_part1 1: 0

Have you tried putting the board into bootloader mode before opening Arduino IDE?
