For some embedded projects, waiting eight seconds before a program runs isn't acceptable, so we modified the bootloader run time. When a Leonardo (or any device using the 'stock' bootloader) is externally reset, it goes back into the bootloader.and waits there eight seconds before it starts running the sketch. We ship the Pro Micro with a modified version of the Arduino Leonardo bootloader, with one major enhancement. Open Arduino back up, check the Serial Ports menu again.Wait a few seconds for the device to be detached.If you can't see your Pro Micro's serial port, give these steps a try: There are a few series of events that can lead to its serial port being removed from the Arduino IDE's Serial Port selection menu.
