Once setup was complete, I uploaded my first program successfully.
Now, when I try to upload a different program, I get the error message below. I am running a 2018 Mac mini with Mac OS Big Sur. Initially, the Mac was saying there was a power problem, that the device was drawing too much power. I find that hard to believe. I don’t get that message anymore, but I also can’t upload any programs. This is what the System says about the USB connection
USB 3.1 Bus:
Host Controller Driver: AppleIntelCNLUSBXHCI
PCI Device ID: 0xa36d
PCI Revision ID: 0x0010
PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086
Vendor-Specific Device:
Product ID: 0x0c9f
Vendor ID: 0x1781
Version: 1.04
Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/s
Location ID: 0x14300000 / 2
Current Available (mA): 500
Extra Operating Current (mA): 0
I’ve tried different cables, different USB ports (USB 3.1), cycling the power switch on the Pocket AVR Programmer, rotating the serial ports, using the pogo pins.
I don’t think it’s a programmer-blink problem. Seems more like a computer to programmer problem. Nevertheless, I am a 99% novice here. Chances are it’s a really simple solution and I just don’t know what it is!
TIA
