Where do you find the FTDI drivers for this board? And how do you set everything up to be able to program?

hi Sue, I am using the drivers from this site: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm; just pick your the one you need based on your OP version, extract to a folder, connect the nano and the rest will be a normal driver installation from the Computer Properties/Device Manager; for programming the nano find the IDE here: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

the arduino website (www.arduino.cc) should have all the info and software you need , the driver should load automatically when you plug the usb into you computer.if the chip is damaged you can have problems with the computer recognizing the device. once the arduino software is installed you will be able to set the port that the nano is on. it already has the simple blink program loaded so when you plug it in the led will blink . after you install the arduino software you can look at the blink program and get an idea of how it works , good luck .

I use the Arduino development environment to program this board. Detailed instructions for each supported OS can be found on their web page: http://www.arduino.cc/

Mine was set up perfectly. I ran a few test boards and then put it to work. So far so good.

There should be a cable inside the box with the programmer that plugs into your USB port. If not I would contact the manufacture and have them send you one.

Thanks for the answers. One more question, did any of you did a new install? based on the answers it seems that most or all of you just replace an old/broken board with this one. I am actually looking to do a new installation.

Sorry I can't tell. I don't have a Windows 8 computer available to test. But based on the experience that the FTDI chipset always worked for me with all previous Windows systems I worked with woud lead me to the assumption, that it will work with Windows 8 as well.

Sorry man, no idea. I just Googled my drivers. Mine still works like a charm.

I could never get the Prolific drivre to work under 64 bit WIN7. I don't know about WIN8. Try a converter that uses the FTDI Driver.

Thanks Nick. I'll try to dig up the instructions for it and relay the answer here.

Did you install the drivers for the DVI output? Pretty sure that the board only comes with native drivers for VGA.

win7 will generally find the drivers intuitively. However, after research, i have found that while a practical idea, some applications, like PonyProg for instance, will not work with this. The serial connection has to be straight to the mobo, not extended with a USB

You'll probably need to go to the website and download the drivers. But double check

I bought 2 of them and they both use ftdi drivers. They work with my astronomical equipment when others fail. I can't vouch for all them but my 2 are fine.

Hi there, what I did is enter the item name and model number on Youtube and searched for "how to install" There' s plenty of links. Here's the one I used - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AZlvEBEjAA It's fairly easy but make sure to follow the instructions to the T or the controller could get fried. Hope this helped! Best of Luck-

There's a manual in the package for set up. If you don't have that you can download one from the ASUS site.

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm is where I downloaded my drivers. Works with all FTDI chipset cables.
