Stuck at the very first step! Can't get Arduino to see the board

Proffieboards Padawan Area

Hello! Been through a buncha tutorials and can’t seem to find a solution so I thought it was time to just ask; I’ve got a proffieboard v3.9 connected to my laptop with a USB cable that I’ve confirmed can send data, am on Arduino IDE 2.3.9 on Windows 11. I have added the 4.6 plugin and run proffie-dfu-setup.

Proffieboard V3 is selected but the board is [not connected]

It shows up in the Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus devices (not controllers, if that’s important) as STM32 BOOTLOADER with the drivers winusb.sys, CoInstaller01011.dll and WinUSBCoInstaller2.dll

What should I be doing here to get Arduino to recognize it? Cheers!

It will not show up in Arduino whenever it’s in bootloader mode (i.e. when it appears as STM32 BOOTLOADER).

You will still be able to upload to it, however.

AHA! Gotcha! Now to figure out everything else lol.
