Hi Everyone,
I received my Kickstarter Espruino Pico board today, too much excitement!
I followed the instructions carefully on the quick start webpage, particularly the windows 8.1 drivers instructions.
*** Windows 8.1 and XP Users: Windows XP and 8.1 do not appear to have generic drivers for USB CDC devices, so you'll have to get them from ST via st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257938. You'll have to unzip the file, run the executable, and then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\Software\Virtual comport driver in Windows Explorer and double-click either dpinst_amd64.exe for 64 bit systems ***
However the Espruino pico board in windows 8.1 pro version is still showing as unrecognised.
When I plug in the board into the usb socket, holding the test button, I see dancing red and green leds pulsing.
So its working, but not showing up as a usb drive or port etc.
In Device manager, under com ports, I see listed:
STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (COM5).
Location Port_0007 hub 0003
So apart from receiving a nice shiny addition to my usb port with disco lights, it don't do much:(
Any ideas?
