Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT: Before attempting these troubleshooting steps, follow the Getting Started section first.

I can't select my port!

  1. Drivers for mBattery (yellow battery) not installed
    The drivers to use mBattery may not have been installed.

    Solution: Please carefully follow the Software Installation Guide for your OS.

  2. Defective mBattery (yellow battery)
    If the above solutions do not resolve the issue, (Contact Us) for a replacement part. Please indicate the prior troubleshooting steps you have performed and the results for a quicker response time.

"stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding" error

If you are able to select the port successfully and receive this error when attempting to upload, then the error may be related to:

  1. mBattery (yellow battery) is not supplying power to the modules.
    Blinking blue LEDs indicates CHARGING ONLY.
    A red LED on indicates that the battery is ON and SUPPLYING power to the modules. This is required for uploading/programming and using your projects.

    Solution: Press and hold the button for a few seconds on mBattery (yellow battery) until a red LED comes on.

  2. Incorrect port selection or software configuration
    This error can occur when the software is not properly configured.

    Solution:
    Confirm "Tools > Boards > Microduino/mCookie-device" is selected.
    Confirm "Tools > Processor > Microduino/mCookie-Core (328@16M,5V)" is selected.
    Select a different port under "Tools > Port". Then attempt to upload again. If you have multiple ports, try different ones and attempt to upload each time.

  3. Bad connection between the Core module and mBattery (yellow battery)
    The gold pins between the Core module and mBattery may be bad, which results in being unable to program.

    Solution: Carefully clean the contacts (gold pins & gold pads) on both the Core module and mBattery with rubbing alcohol. Also check for defective pins or pads on both modules.

  4. Defective mBattery (yellow battery) or Core module
    If the above solutions do not resolve the issue, (Contact Us) for a replacement part. Please indicate the prior troubleshooting steps you have performed and the results for a quicker response time.
