when I press upload I get the following error message: Cannot open DFU device 0483:df11. As far as I know, everything is fine. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Most likely you have not installed the required driver

where can i find it?
The installer can be found here: https://fredrik.hubbe.net/lightsaber/proffie-dfu-setup.exe

now its like this

That doesn't really mean anything. Does the upload work?
fierce saffron
nope
You said you had a thrustmaster in the other chat.
You should try following these steps, then re-run the installer I linked above. Thrustmaster/Guillemot's driver is notorious with STM32 based projects, it's borderline malicious with how it tries to attach itself

ah okay. does my thrustmaster wheel still work after that or does it have to be reinstalled? if you don't know i'll go and find out myself as it's not lightsaber stuff.

As far as I can tell, if you do as the comment on that posts suggests and simply rename the DFU_ST file (rather than purge the whole program folder), then the wheel should still work, the software just won't be able to update it. I would be surprised if their software was so poorly written it doesn't even work without that file. It's possible I guess, but I would assume it should still work.

i now have this when i run it

Awesome! Yeah those drivers can be a pain
frail ice
okay. I just did something yesterday that is not good. Don't know if you can still help with this. when I plug my saber into my pc it immediately opens my explorer and says insert disk : PLease instert a disk into USB drive (G:). this happened after I uploaded my config to saber

That just means you enable Mass Storage the proffieboard is using the SD Card or it isn't in the board
fierce saffron
No, but I would disable Mass Storage anyways if you don't need it. It's very not good unless you absolutely need it (i.e. cannot access the SD card physically)
frail ice
and ho do i disable mass storage?
fierce saffron
Since you're using Arduino, it'll be in the Tools dropdown

This here
Change it from Serial + Mass Storage to just Serial
frail ice
ah oke thnx
