1. Enable show file extensions in file explorer

It’s a lot easier if you can see what files are what types, so if you don’t already have this on, turn it on!

2. Verify you have a cable that works

Verify that the micro usb cable that you are using is for both data and power. Lots of micro usb cables that i have in storage are only meant to charge devices and will not work.

3. Use apps to verify the Daisy is recognized by your computer

Use apps like usb device view or usb tree view to help you see if the micro controller is being detected properly. Both of these give you a lot of information about the USB devices that are plugged into your computer.

4. Know when to switch terminal environments

In Keyth’s guide, there are parts where he is instructing you to use commands in the Powershell terminal. The guide starts in PowerShell, but then shifts over into to the “GIT” environment. Because I’m a noob, I didn’t quite catch that. When you get to the part where you have to use the “make” commands which Powershell didn’t like.
