WHY NO WORKEE WORKEE??

[AvE]

I've bought the spark before and it worked nicely. Great size, easy, love it,  etc. But the second from last batch I bought were glitchy with the usb and this latest batch doesn't get recognized, no way, no how. I even went so far to order Shenzhen specials, no dice either. Old dilapidated confuser that formerly worked with the digispark no longer works on new batch; new laptop not even a whiff of usb recognition. Boo. I really want to use your stuff. Any ideas?

Hey AvE, Love ur Vidjeaos,

Couple gotcha's i've found, do you see any "Unknown Devices" show up in your device manager?

also, can ya confirm you're getting 5vdc through to to the spark? <Meter accross the 5v and gnd pads on the side>

might try a short usb extension cable between PC and Spark.... <spark wont fit in the USB's on my toughbook, for example>

<i've had both problems> ..
