For anybody else having issues with getting FireDuino working on Windows 10 I've worked out a process that has worked for me on two separate Windows 10 systems with two Fireduino boards and another user has also tried it successfully.
1. Turn off checking for driver signatures (http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Fireduino/Current_bug/en )
2. Follow the instructions up until after the RockUSB driver is installed.
3. Open the Arduino IDE as Administrator. Your need the Arduino IDE from FireFly or you'll have to configure it yourself.
4. Set the board as Fireduino and forget the comm port (there wont be one).
5. Compile a blank sketch (or blink) and about half way through the compile put the board into the firmware upgrade mode (http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Fireduino/upgrade_Firmware/en ).
* I could not get it to connect if I reset it before upgrading like they say.
6. If the boards serial gets recognized by windows about the time it goes to upload the it will work. You will also find you now have the USB to serial in the Windows devices. It may have the Other Devices->Fireduino as they say in the doco (I may have already installed it) which case follow the instructions to install the FireDuino USB to Serial drivers.
7. Update your boards firmware as per the wiki (http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Fireduino/upgrade_Firmware/en)
Next time you want to upload you may need to disconnect the USB and reconnect it. This isn't every time but almost every time.
Also note that if your testing it and don't get the serial output in the Arduino serial monitor add while(!Serial); after the Serial. begin(115200); line. It will tell the code to wait for a serial connection before beginning. |
