Thumby / Re: Unable to connect to Thumby

« on: February 16, 2022, 05:51:31 PM »

Seems like my THUMBY was not provisioned right. It was most likely in some kind of factory test mode. To fix it I had to:

1. go to https://tinycircuits.github.io/
2. download firmware from UTILITIES -> DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE
3. power off THUMBY, plug in the USB
4. hold down the d-pad down button and power on THUMBY - this boots up the Pico in a mode that shows up as a drive on your PC
5. drag and drop the firmware into the THUMBY drive. This will disconnect THUMBY and leave it with no working screen
6. go back to https://tinycircuits.github.io/
7. CONNECT THUMBY
6. Now Filesystem tab shows empty
7. Click FORMAT to load all files again
8. Disconnect and reboot

The problem is in repl.js:

Code: [Select]

        this.USB_VENDOR_ID = 11914; // For filtering ports during auto or manual selection
        this.USB_PRODUCT_ID = 5;    // For filtering ports during auto or manual selection
The PID for my THUMBY is 000A which is 10.

Thumby / Unable to connect to Thumby

I have opened up the IDE in both Chrome and Edge and neither one of them has any devices listed when I click CONNECT THUMBY. I can see that Thumby is in device manager as USB Serial Device (COM3) as soon as I plug it in. I am on Windows 11 if that makes any difference. 

Edit: I can even connect to the serial port using Putty and see following output:

Code: [Select]

DPAD left pressed!
Press DPAD right
DPAD right pressed!
Press DPAD up
Press DPAD down
Press A (right)

Playing audio test, hold right DPAD to stop
