Netduino Not Recognized

Hi, this is my first time using Netduino, and I'm sad to say I'm a bit confused. I plugged it in after installing everything, and my computer recognized it and all was well. Then I followed this tutorial: and after using MFDeploy and clicking the 'Deployment Transfer' I unplugged it and plugged it back in, only to find that it was no longer recognized. The led turns off after around 2.5 seconds when I plug it in, nothing changed on the Netduino, my computer simply wont recognize the Netduino. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Unknown_To_You,

after using MFDeploy and clicking the 'Deployment Transfer' I unplugged it and plugged it back in, only to find that it was no longer recognized. The led turns off after around 2.5 seconds when I plug it in, nothing changed on the Netduino, my computer simply wont recognize the Netduino. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Changing the Deployment Transport will switch the port that Netduino listens on for a debugger. If you switch it away from USB to Serial, for instance, then .NET MF will no longer enumerate on your USB port.

If you can't access the new deployment port, you can erase and reflash your Netduino...and get back to the starting point. The new Netduino 4.2 firmware just shipped, so this might be an unintended opportunity to upgrade to the latest firmware as well.

That occurred to me, but I have no idea whatsoever how to do that. I know that you have to power some gold thing on the board, but how much power and where the gold thing is I do not know. Also, I don't know how to 'flash' new firmware to my board...

Hmm, yes. I did that and now the LED stays on and MFDeploy wont see my Netduino, but Visual Studio and Device Manager both recognize it as Netduino...

Ah! I solved it. Before I was using a different MFDeploy (as was found in the description of the video I first posted), but with the help of this post I now have the 4.2 framework and my Netduino should be up and running.
