Topic: Arduino Drivers

I am going to use a dedicated pc running WINDOWS 8. Anybody else with a SD3 running it? If so, are there any problems installing  Arduino Drivers?

Re: Arduino Drivers

I'm using Windows 8 on a dedicated laptop on my SD3 with no problems.

Re: Arduino Drivers

Did win 8 go out and look for the drivers?

Re: Arduino Drivers

The Arduino "drivers" are actually INF files that are provided with the Arduino IDE install.  The only problem I had was that they were not signed, and it took quite a bit of fiddling to figure out how to turn the driver-signing requirement off in Win8.  Basically you have to shut down Win8 and reconfigure the driver signing as you reboot.  There are articles out there explaining how it is done: I've already forgotten how I did it!

Re: Arduino Drivers

oh no  the   Arduino is down  at this time, says it will be back up at  3pm CET. Just in case it's not can anybody send me the  drivers? I am expecting my SD3 tomorrow, hate not being able to use it

Opps NM, I already had downloaded the drivers.

Re: Arduino Drivers

When I installed WIN8 did not find the drivers automatically so all I had to do was manually point at the correct drivers folder
