Testing Arduino Micro

Hi,

I am no longer getting blink blink as I load sketches on my Micro. The blue light and a couple of other LEDs come on, but no sign of activity beyond that.

/dev/tty.bluetooth-incoming-port <<< tried this
/dev/cu.bluetooth-incoming-port <<< tried this
/dev/tty.bluetooth-modem <<< is reported busy
/dev/cu.bluetooth-modem <<< is reported busy

I don’t see any /dev/tty.usbmodem as the instructions on Arduino site suggest should be on a Mac.

Assuming everything external to the controller is Okay, what is a good way to figure out if the controller has gone bad?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Farzad.

In light of your subsequent post here, it looks like this is a solved issue. If you really applied 12V to something other than the VIN pin of your Arduino Micro, then it is most likely that the board is damaged beyond repair.

Yes, thanks. I am getting a couple of new controllers.

You know, it would be nice to have a protection similar to what we have at the gas pump where the diesel nozzle just doesn’t fit the regular tank! I almost did that to my car recently.
