I was using the Usbasp programmer before without any problems but now when i tried to connect it to my pc it didnt show up in IDE. I also tried to arduino IDE versin 1.8 something.
Any advice to fix?
Thank you
Hi @spi_master1213. Where are you expecting it to "show up" in Arduino IDE?
If you are looking for it under the Tools > Port menu, then it is normal and expected that you won't see a port there for the USBasp. This is a pure USB device that doesn't use a serial port. The only thing you need to do is select Tools > Programmer > USBasp from the Arduino IDE menus and you are set to use it.
well but i remember that it was showing it before in the IDE
It is possible. I believe it will show up as a "Teensy" protocol port when you have the "Teensy" boards platform installed since that adds a port discovery tool that recognizes pure USB devices as ports. But it doesn't matter either way because the port is not used in any way.
So forget about the port and simply go ahead and try whatever you were hoping to accomplish with the USBasp. If you have any problems, then come back here with a detailed description and we'll help you out.
