Device No longer Connects #144

A couple of weeks ago my board was working fine. However, over that last week it has stopped connecting. I have tried reinstalling the software a couple of times. When I look in the device manager that cable shows up as a libusb-win32 usb device: ATxmega32A4U. I have tried to change the driver of this device and it doesn't show libusbK devices as an option. I don't see any other usb devices in my device manager. I'm running Windows 10. Open to any ideas, thanks.

There's a Firmware Recovery tool under the "Help" menu that can fix most of these problems. Specifically on Windows, though, there are a couple of batch files under C:\Program Files\EspoTek\EspoTek Labrador\firmware: flash.bat and wipe.bat.

You'll know it's successful if flash.bat hangs around on screen for about a second and prints a message with a whole lot of > characters. On reconnect, the board should come up in device manage correctly.

(By the way, the ATxmega32A4U is how the device enumerates when in bootloader mode. You definitely don't want to fiddle with the driver for that; it relies on libusb-win32 to talk to the programmer software!)

Thanks. That was it.
