Hi,

Just grabbed my Digispark that I got so long ago from your fabulous Kickstarter, and I'm having trouble uploading to it.
I have install the board files on the various versions of Arduino.
I have selected Digispark (Default  and Digispark Pro (Default  to no avail.
I get the prompt to plug in the device, and I do, and then 5 seconds or so later the LED blinks in its original pattern. Then about 60 seconds or so later, the Arduino times out.

Am I missing something?

I don't use a Mac, so I can't say I've experienced this issue. However, I remembered there was a sticky thread on the forum talking about the Retina Mac Book Pros not working. It was surmised that it might be due to the extra pins of the USB3 sockets being shorted, the pins not making proper contact, or driver/software issues.

Things to try:
  • An USB2 extension
  • An USB2 hub
  • Restarting/power off and on your machine with the USB hub plugged in (was reported to work with one person?)

Well, I guess that would be it then.
I will try again with a USB hub, and if I have any issues I'll post on that thread.
Thanks much!
