Issue uploading sketches to LilyMini Protosnap

[ianostrom]

Hi,

I’m having an upload issue with a batch of Lilypad Mini ProtoSnaps that I ordered from you recently. They work with the built in code. I tested uploading a sketch (blink) to one via the Arduino Studio for Mac when they first arrived and it worked fine. Yesterday, however, I got this error when uploading.

No device found on cu.usbmodem14101
An error occurred while uploading the sketch

I have the correct board chosen and I am able to both see the port and get the board info so it isn’t a cable issue.

BN: LilyPad LilyMini
VID: 1B4F
PID: 0100
SN: (null)

I am running Mac OS 11.2 and Arduino studio 1.8.13. I got the same result trying it on a second LilyMini, trying it with other sketches, and trying it on an older mac running Catalina with a fresh downloads of Arduino Studio and the two board libraries installed in the correct order.

Please advise.

Hi ianostrom, we though we had replied to you in another thread but that must have been a different customer.

Even though the Lilymini shows up in the Arduino IDE as a re-programmable board, we never actually got programming to work reliably. Because of that, these are sold to be used with the sketch they come with and are considered not re programmable.

No worries Chris. I’m glad we are in touch now.

I ordered 44 of the Lilyminis for a pair of class projects. I still have 22 that are unopened and I’ll return them for 20 of a different model. Either the USB or the USB Plus, whichever you have in stock. The 22 that are already opened can be repurposed for the second project which will use the pre-programmed code.

Can you confirm that these models are programmable by USB and would be able to power a Lily buzzer with two coin cell batteries?

@TS-Chris our purchasing manager, Kim, is going to contact you by email to see if any paperwork is needed for the exchange.

We did get that email and you’re all taken care of.
