Questions and answers
porque el microcable no lo lee mi computadora y ya actualise los controladores
The MAKER MADE M2 micro cable may not be recognized by your computer after updating the drivers because the updated FTDI drivers do not work with certain knock-off chips, such as those in the CH340 line. These updated drivers can block communication with the board. To fix this, you may need to roll back to an earlier version of the driver that supports these chips. Also, ensure the USB cable is a data cable, not just a charging cable.
