Windows 10 Driver for Pixel kit #8

Closed netmanchris closed 5 years ago

netmanchris commented 5 years ago

Trying to connect Pixel kit to Window 10 machine. Device Manager shows the Pixel kit as FT231X USB UART for which there are no drivers available. Doing a little digging, it appears I should be installign drivers for the Ftdi chip from here. https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Can anyone confirm if this is accurate or if there's another method I should be using for loading the drivers? [update] I was able to successfully install the drivers above and Windows 10 now sees the device as a "USB Serial Converter"

thanks!

Have you tried to install Kano Code as described on before you start requirements?

netmanchris commented 5 years ago

Ouch. Is my face red? ( I think we can close this for now )

murilopolese commented 5 years ago

Don't be ashamed, @netmanchris! It's a silly step that can be skipped if you are willing to install the FTDI drivers yourself. I just added there because teachers and beginners (and myself most of the times) tend to have difficulties installing drivers and Kano Code does it automagically :D

Feel free to close the issue or add any more questions.

Hey @netmanchris, do you believe this issue is solved? :)

Yes - Sorry! closing now.
