Unable to flash seed from currently opened patch in plugdata

Hi Guys,

Looking for some help with understanding how to use plugdata and the seed.

I built a 125b guitar pedal from ( GitHub - bkshepherd/DaisySeedProjects: A collection of hardware and software projects based around the Electro-Smith Daisy Seed ) and I can successfully flash the software to the board via vscode, IDE and the online web programmer with no issues.

Now I want to start making my own code via plugdata. When I try to flash the blink example to my board it reports back as successful but the LED doesn’t blink. At first I thought it was the bootloader or maybe a bad install of plugdata, however, I was able to use plugdata to flash the JSON blink example and it worked.

I’m on windows using plugdata 0.9.2 and have v1.2 board.

The example I used was from the electrosmith github, has anyone had any luck with this? or can tell me what to research/learn?

Can you link to the specific example please?
I’m not aware of a pd blink example like this.

So the process for flashing the patch is working correctly, right?
Then the title of this topic is a bit misleading. You are able to flash, but you don’t see it running.

I got the example from the Electrosmith youtube ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aqOCtk6pAw1kFjXZK0ms7zK8bPAVpodt/view )

Good point on the topic, I guess the confusion I’m having is figuring out what problem I have.

I believe so, I can see the compiler erase and download the data but I only see the blink example working on the seed when I set my target board to custom JSON and use the JSON file that came with the blink example on the google drive. When I set the target board to the POD and flash I can see it erase/download but the seed led doesn’t blink.

Could I be missing a step?

OHHHHHHHHHHHH, I’m so sorry, I now understand what I am confused about.

I thought the Custom JSON file contained the blink example however I know understand that it is the way I define the hardware. ie LED’s and POT’s.

Apologies
