I thought you probably were, which is why I wanted to avoid jumping to conclusions.
If it doesnât work on any of the porst then that certainly is odd.
Which OSes do the computers use?
Pre-empting the answer being âWindowsâ:
If youâre on Windows, go into the device manager, click View->Show hidden devices, then look under Portable Devices and see if CRP DISABLD is listed.
Meh, it doesnât really matter. My mom doesnât use her old computer anymore, so I set up a little âPokitto stationâ with a plug, an SD card reader, a MicroSD adapter, and some MicroSD cards.
I now have the loader working fine, and am running the raytracing program right now 
If it ever happens with another computer, report it again.
It could be an issue with your computer, but if itâs an issue with the Pokitto it needs to be made known so it can be investigated and fixed or prevented in case it happens to someone else.
As odd as it feels to be saying this, I hope your computer is the one with the problem :P.
At least youâve got a way of running it I guess.
If anyone has the same trouble I had, it does seem simply to be that I was trying to copy the file before it was fully ready.
Since then I have been using a batch file to copy the compiled .bin across.
The following windows .bat file will first detect the pokitto, then delete firmware.bin from it and yopy testcode.bin to it. Once it is finished, it is safe to reset the pokitto. I have been doing this for the past few days without any issues at all.
copy.bat
@echo off
set VAR=Destination
for /f "skip=1" %%L in ('wmic logicaldisk where volumename^="CRP DISABLD" Get Caption') do @call :SetVar %%L
echo Copying data from %Source% to %Destination%
del %Destination%\firmware.bin
copy testcode.bin %Destination%\firmware.bin
goto :EOF
:SetVar
set Label=%1
if NOT [%Label%]==[] set %VAR%=%Label%
goto :EOFConvenient, Iâll add this in Embitz to copy to Pokitto after as Post Build Step.
Iâm having trouble troubleshooting the device. Iâve adjusted the screen ribbon several times, making sure to lock the black tabs. Perhaps I have damaged a component trying to assemble the Pokitto. So I want to know how to interpret the output of the pre-loaded testing program.
The testing program is emitting a rapid series of faint audio clicks / beeps. Is this the expected behavior when there is a problem connecting to the screen?
First of all, welcome to the community.
Secondly, you will get a working device. We will ship you a new one if needed.
Third, the device does not need a display to work. You should be able to get it connected to a computer no matter what.
So. Lets do this step by step.
Finally, please report what happened here
Jonne
Thank you so much for your quick responses, Jonne. Unfortunately, I have to do this on my Mac. Following your instructions, I see the âCRP DISABLEDâ volume mounted with the âfirmware.binâ. The noises cease when itâs in Flash Drive mode.
Thats good. It means the processor is working and talking with the computer.
Now. Lets make sure your device is simply not out of charge. For safety reasons, Pokittos are shipped with li-pos at <30% charge.
Let the device charge for a while and try to start it up. Also, if you can, please take and post a pic of the lcd cable inside the lcd connector so we make 200% sure its not the cause
Ok. That looks correct.
Could you try to take, for example, this binary:
And put it on the device using these instructions:
Please report back. If you still canât get anything sensible happening, we will send you a new Pokitto asap.
using windows 10, did everything above, canât seem to connect to my pokitto as a usb flash drive. All I get is an unnamed volume (E:) which I canât access. As you can see in the pic I uploaded, it says insert disk⌠any ideas why and how can I fix this please?
That is very puzzling @musashi. You see, I canât understand why Pokitto would be identified as a portable device. I have never seen that. I would understand if the USB connection failed but to be identified as a wrong type of device makes no sense at all.
No other drive management programs, this is a fairly fresh vanilla windows 10 install. Tried a few other USB cables, same problem. No other pc around right now, will have to wait for tomorrow. Bummer, was so looking forward to playing with pokitto.
I am totally puzzled by what your PC has done. It makes no sense at all. If it was an âunrecognized USB deviceâ it would make sense.
Can you boot into safe mode?
need to run an errand, will try safe mode later, if it helps I grabbed the event log:

is your answer @musashi. It appears you possibly have the W10 anniversary update that broke the USBMSC functionality. You need the windows update mentioned in the last reply in the thread above
In safe mode, plugged pokitto in, held back lower button while turning on and same thing happens. I get a drive volume E: which canât be accessed.
see my answer above
