Errors with Arduino IDE and Gemma

[wingchoi]

I also just got a new GEMMA, d/l the new Arduino IDE for adafruit... wrote the quick ledblink sketch. When I upload I get this error.

avrdude: error: usbtiny_receive: usb_control_msg: sending control message failed, win error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

(expected 4, got -5)


when I turn on verbose. I am using v5.11 for avrdude. The led appears to be blinking at the correct rate, but I am not sure why the error.

avrdude done. Thank you.

Some people seem to get that error, even though everything works, If your upload appears to be working, the error is safe to ignore.
