Hi,
I have a Sparkfun Pro Micro (with an Atmega32u4 on it) which is programmed to identify itself as a HID keyboard when plugged in via USB. During development, I used the virtual com port for programming and debugging. My “product” is finished right now, and I would like to hide or disable the virtual com port.
At this moment when a user plugs in the USB, the computer installs the HID keyboard driver automatically and shows a driver installation error for the virtual com port. This does not look very professional for an end product. I could provide a driver for it, but the virtual com port is not needed. That’s why I want to hide or disable the virtual com port.
Is this possible? I don’t want to remove the virtual com port completely, as I may need it in the future for program updates. So it needs to be available when needed.
Thanks in advance.
