My Arduino IDE won’t find the Tiny AVR programmer in the “ports”.

Any known issues, or work arounds?

Thanks

I recall having issues with my Tiny AVR on a PC when hooked up to a USB-3 port; when changing to a USB-2 it worked.

Try unplugging and replugging the Tiny AVR Programmer back into your USB port. Or switch out your USB extension cable for a known good. In some cases, your Tiny AVR Programmer may shows up under the libusb-win32 devices as an Unknown Device #1. If that is the case you should be good to go!

If you are using the programmer with IDE 2.0-rc6 or older, there is a bug in the software that will not allow uploading without a port selected. The Tiny Programmer has no port. The work around is to use “Upload Using Programmer” in the Sketch Menu. I have never had problems with IDE 1,6 up through 1.8.19. But now that IDE 2.0-rc6 allows programming with the Tiny Programmer and programming teensy 4.1, I no longer need to use the IDE 1.8.19! I hope this helps!
