Device not detected

jhox616 · 26 Feb

I am connecting the nrf9160 board to my pc but it is not being recognized. I am unable to use it in nrf connect or vscode.

When serial is plugged in it blinks the green LED rapidly and the blue LED once a second.

I had a friend trying to get it to work for at least an hour using the forums and no luck.

The forum said to just change the device provider for nrf connect on vscode to nrfjprog but I can’t find that option at all.

As all ways I really appreciate your help and insight,

If you’re using Nordic’s extension, it does no “detect” the nRF9160 Feather. You need to set up your computer according to these instructions: https://docs.circuitdojo.com/nrf9160-feather/sdk-setup-windows.html

Also if you’re setting up a new computer, you may need to install the VCP Driver: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much Jared. I don’t know if we tried that so that will give us something to hope for.
Keep doing all the great things you do!
