MOJO communication problems

[mbalestrini]

I'm having problems trying to program the MOJO V3. I haven't being using it in a while, but the last time I remember it was working.

Whenever I try to program or erase it I get these errors:

Program Mojo (Flash):
Connecting...
Erasing flash...
Error: Port name - COM14; Method name - readBytes(); Serial port operation timeout (2000 ms).

Erase Mojo (after trying programming)
Connecting...
Erasing...
Error: Port name - COM12; Method name - readBytes(); Serial port operation timeout (10000 ms).


I don't remember if the was one or more debug LEDs on the board, but nothing turns on.

The board appears in the Windows Device Manager as:
--Port (COM & LPT)
----Mojo V3 (COM14)




The firmware update process seems to be working:
Resetting into bootloader mode...
Programming Mojo on COM13

Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = "CATERIN"; type = S

Programmer supports auto addr increment.

avrdude.exe done. Thank you.

Finished flashing.




Is there anything else I can try to see if there is something wrong with the board?

What OS are you using (looks like Windows, but is it 10?) are you running it in a VM?

You shouldn't have to flash the firmware but it won't hurt.

I'm running Windows 7

The firmware update was just to test some other communication channel with the device. That seems to work (at least from the messages the app returns), but I can't program it.
