Serial communication with Arduino Mini USB Board

Help & Support Robot Parts

Hello,

I bought the Arduino Mini USB Board.
When I send serial data to it (with an AVR Atmega8) I do not receive the expected data, as if I did not configure the speeds correctly… and for some communicarion speeds Windows detects a new mouse and I loose clntrol of the cursor :smiley:.

Actaully, I setup the Arduino to behave as a COM port.
Indeed, I can setup a communication speed, nb of bit stop, …
Do I need to disable any USB feature for this port so that the virtual COM port works properly?

Many thanks

Kind regards,
Guillaume

Hi,

Our first impression is that you may not have the correct drivers installed for the device, which is based on the FTDI chipset. We suggest you dowload the Arduino software package and manually force installation of the correct drivers for the device:

arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

You will find the drivers in the /drivers folder.
