[simpits-tech] Thrustmaster HOTAS question

[MARK COLLINS]

Hey Gene,
I'm trying to upload the firmware on a Micro card (RobotDyn Micro ATmega32U4-MU).  Windows sees it in device manager as a Arduino Micro on com5.  When I press the reset button, device manager refreshes for just a second still showing the Arduino Micro on Com5 the lights go out on the Micro, then blink back on, Device manager refreshes a second time again showing the Arduino Micro still on Com5.  I never see the Arduino as a boot loader device for 8 seconds like I'm supposed to.

I have pressed reset mulitple times as the thread states it make take a few tries but still no luck.

any ideas?

Also, I'm active in the Thrustmaster Thread over on SimHQ so if you want me to push this over there I will.  I just thought I'd start with you as the main MMJOY thread shows your process for loading the firmware.

thx
