Starting with the Arduino

Post 25


Alright looks like I'm facing the same problem like I've had since Livetags.

I CAN'T ARDUINO ON MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP.

Apparently the my OS could not recognize the drivers. I'd probably end up using my old desktop to code the Arduinos like last time.

But, the thing is, I need my laptop because it's portable.

Below is the video of what I'm experiencing exactly. Except that I update the drivers from the windows folder. But it keeps saying is already updated with the best drivers. My COMPORT is still not lilypad.

The sketch and tutorial for the RGB LED is Here.

I get this error after uploading my sketch: avrdude stk500_getsync() not in sync resp=0x00

Researched online and it's probably a driver problem.


So this is what I did today.

I hooked up my arduino and it could upload the Basic Blink Sketch. I doesn't loop forever though.


So fix the drivers, I tried installing the FTDI drivers from here but it still wouldn't work.

And this is only the first day.
