I uploaded several simple sketches in my Motenio M0 (LED Blink ...) and everything worked correctly but after uploading a skecth using the "LowPower" library Windows 10 did not recognize my Moteino, it showed the message of the subject.

I think I've left my Moteino in a "stand by" loop ...

I have a USB FTDI but I am not able to upload any skecth. Can somebody help me?.

Thank you.

Without seeing the code, I am guessing your sketch is probably making it into a USB device that is not recognized by Windows. This is very common and you can easily "brick" it if your code disables the USB or sleeps the MCU - basically making it unresponsive to further sketch uploads while YOUR sketch is running.

In all these cases the fix is:

Put it back into bootloader mode so Windows can see it as a serial device (double tap on RESET, or first reset, give it a fraction of a second, then double tap on reset) until you see the breathing LED pattern, that's how you know you're in bootloader.
