push reset switch on Arduboy and set it to flashlight mode
start uploading within the first 8 seconds after powering on my Arduboy
On every pc Arduboy was listet as “Arduino leonardo” without warnings as a regular serial device in the hardware devices list.
Any idea what’s wrong with me, my systems or my Arduboy? Is the bootloader wrong? As far as I know I never did something to my arduboy since buying it in Nov 2018. I just put a few games on it that were available as arduino project.
You could try holding UP while powering the Arduboy, or hit the reset button (next to the micro usb port) while the animation on the Uploader is looking for your device
@sjm4306: Currently MicroCity is installed. But before I had other games installed with Arduino IDE and the same problems with Arduboy Uploader and the other tools. Whole list of games that were installed on my arduboy:
Kind of odd that avrdude doesn’t work and Arduino IDE does (it also uses avrdude) The one difference I see between the uploaders and the Arduino IDE is that the Arduino IDE has a longer retry period / connect timeout. Which makes me wonder if you’re USB cable is wonky. Have you tried another USB cable and/or different USB port?
the correct procedure should be:
Turn on Arduboy while pressing up to enter flashlight mode
start uploading within the 8 seconds after reseting Arduboy
