It sounds like you did everything right. I think in the other thread that you posted on, you were advised to triple check the USB cable (making sure it sends data rather than just powering Daisy). That’s the only thing I could think of.
Definitely try out older versions, which I know is not the most ideal.
And I don’t think getting the debug probe will fix this particular issue either (although I do recommend getting it once Daisy itself is working!).
Final thing is, maybe somebody in the Daisy Discord may have a solution!
Good luck! I really hope this gets solved very soon.
