After initially successfully testing the Spider controller, I unplugged the spider and when i plugged it back in, my computer wouldn't recognize it anymore, in Arduino IDE the serial port shows nothing. Has anyone had this problem with the Spider before?
When I uploaded the initial code I might have selected 'mega 2560' as the board type instead of 'mega 1280'. I called Sparkfun's tech support and they said selecting the wrong board might have messed up the bootloader code. They did not offer any solutions other than replacing it with a new board.
Does anyone know a quick fix for this? I tried re-booting my computer and resetting the board and nothing worked. How do I get my computer to recognize the board again?
