The Pro Trinket 3V runs at 12MHz, this doesn't affect most projects. Pins #2 and #7 are not available (they are exclusively for USB) Here's some things you may have to consider when adapting Arduino sketches: Pro Trinket is programmable using the Arduino IDE as you already set up, and 95% of Arduino projects will work out of the box!

However, it uses 3V logic and 12MHz clock which means it's good when you want a lower-power and lower-voltage setup. The Pro Trinket 3V uses the Atmega328P chip, which is the same core chip in the Arduino UNO/Duemilanove/Mini/etc. So it's great once you've finished up a prototype on an official Arduino UNO and want to make the project smaller. The Pro Trinket PCB measures only 1.5" x 0.7" x 0.2" (without headers) but packs the same capability as an Arduino UNO. We also added Optiboot support, so you can either program your Pro Trinket over USB or with a FTDI cable just like the Pro Mini and friends. Like the Trinket, it has onboard USB bootloading support - we opted for a MicroUSB jack this time. That's why we designed Pro Trinket, with 18 GPIO, 2 extra analog inputs, 28K of flash, and 2K of RAM. Trinket's a year old now, and while its been great to see tons of tiny projects, sometimes you just need more pins, more FLASH, and more RAM. It's like an Arduino Pro Mini with more pins and USB tossed in. Again, I went through the guides, I went through tutorials on Youtube, and my friends - who regularly work with Arduinos, tried to get these Trinkets to work and connect to their own PCs and MAC, but it seems dead.Trinket's got a big sister in town - the Pro Trinket 3V! Pro Trinket combines everything you love about Trinket with the familiarity of the core Arduino chip, the ATmega328. I plug in the Trinket, the red light turns on and off (nothing is attached to the trinket), and no "new hardware found" alert, or sound happens.

I have it set to the right programmer and device, but the issue, inherently, is the fact that my PC will NOT recognize the hardware. I attempted to attach a USB 2.0 hub as well, and tried many different USB ports, all 2.0 - nothing. My USB ports are 2.0 because my USB 3.0 is detached (the case didn't have enough space for the port to be run internally, so I never attached it. Especially with laptops, the USB can be super finicky! :/ This is just frustrating, and I'm likely just not going to bother with the trinket anymore and move on to a different Arduino device (praying those work as well).Īdafruit2 wrote:it may be you have USB3 ports on your computer, you could try another USB port or going thru a hub. I have even consulted with my tech savvy friends, who have worked with Arduinos before, and they've taken the Trinkets to test. I see similar issues, but nothing remotely close to what I am seeing. Is there any means of assistance so I can understand what can possibly be going on here? I've spent days browsing the forums and other sites for help. So, now what? I'm fairly certain that it isn't fate which has caused me to received two broken Trinkets, but rather something that I am missing, as noted in my original post. I have used a new USB cable and am connected to USB 2.0 The red light turns on, and off, and the PC does not recognize that a device is being plugged in, nor does the trinket appear anywhere in my device manager. So, I received my new Trinket, and I'm seeing the same exact issue.

Is there anything that I am missing? Is the Trinket I received just dead, or is Windows just being terrible? I have Googled and browsed the forums on here, but I haven't found anything that's related to my issue.ĮDIT: This video link demonstrates my exact problem: I have also even checked the Control Panel, to try and roll back the drivers, but the option is greyed out for the ports I used, so I am fairly certain that this isn't installing at all. I checked that the right board was selected, as well as programmer.

When I run the Arduino IDE, it tells me that it cannot find a USBTiny device - as I am unable to install the drivers. I attempted the same thing on my laptop and didn't see any difference. I switched cables, I switched USB outlets, and I even bought a USB hub. When it is plugged in, there is no PC/USB connector sound from the PC - that it is recognizing a new plugged in device. I installed the USBTiny drivers, or at least attempted to, as I never received the installation prompt. Now, my PC isn't recognizing the device, and potentially the drivers. If I hit the reset button on the microcontroller, it continued the same behavior. The green power light would turn on, but the red would turn on for 2 seconds, and then turn off, never blinking or flashing. I recently bought a Neopixel LED strip and an Adafruit Trinket, not Pro, to get started.īefore I did anything, I attempted to connect the trinket via USB to my PC.

So, I'll preface this with saying that I'm a newbie to this stuff.
