Thumby / Re: Unable to connect my Thumby to the computer
« on: April 11, 2022, 04:01:43 PM »I've been looking through the Raspberry Pi pico forums and this issue seems to have come up a few times. It could be an issue with your Windows USB driver detecting an "issue" with the Thumby and refusing to connect to it. I would recommend turning the PC off and back on and trying the BOOTSEL mode again a few times to see if that solves the problem. You can also try updating your USB drivers, or you can reinstall, this link covers both options: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/update-drivers-in-windows-ec62f46c-ff14-c91d-eead-d7126dc1f7b6
If the above options do not solve the problem I recommend trying a different Windows 10 computer. It's unlikely that there would be an issue with the Micro USB cable or Thumby since it still shows up on your computer as an unknown device and is playable.
I was just coming to tell you that it started working! First I thought that it was because of trying another cable I loaned from a friend, but after reading your message I tried it with the original cable, too, and for who knows what reason it seems to work just fine now. ='D I did turn everything on and off multiple times, so I guess at some point it did the trick. Frustrating and silly, but at least it's working now! Thank you for all the advice!
