LilyMini Uploading Issue

Hi team,

I am having an issue where I can’t upload example code to the LilyMini. The LilyMini units I have tried on are all brand new.

I have followed the instructions found at https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pr … troduction

I have installed both Arduino SAMD and SparkFun SAMD. I have connected the LilyMini via USB to the computer, it detects it on port 17. I made sure the Board “LilyPad LilyMini” was selected.

When attempting to upload Blink code onto the board it throw an error and most definitely doesn’t load the blink code onto the board.

I have also tried the reset suggestion on that page and it didn’t help.

Below is the error. Please help?!

The tutorial you were reading is a beta programming guide and wasn’t intended to be released to the general public. Unfortunately there are quite a few bugs in the code for programming the LilyMini and programming is currently not supported.

But it is possible. Which version of SparkFun SAMD did you install? It should be version 1.4.0.

Hi Chris,

I have installed the advised SAMD libraries from the website instructions.

Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) v 1.8.6

SparkFun SAMD Boards v1.7.4

I don’t think the LilyMini is for my students then.

No, it should be Sparkfun SAMD Board 1.4.0.

[“BEFORE CLICKING “INSTALL” CHOOSE VERSION 1.4.0 FROM THE DROPDOWN MENU. Later versions do not include the LilyMini downloading tool.”](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/programming-the-lilymini/all)
