So far smileyĪrduino: 1.8.0 (Windows XP), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"

So - use the supplied Windows installer program, and ignore stage 4, and all is well. Tried making changes to the Blink example and uploading them, all worked OK.
#Blink board or blink lite update#
Followed instructions to update driver software, and got message "Windows has determined your software driver is up to date". Stage 3 resulted in the Windows driver installation succeeding, not failing! Ports now showing in device manager - well, one anyway, the one with the Arduino on it (COM3). Result - files all unzipped, installation completed. The cure - I removed the unzipped IDE and started again, but this time I executed the Windows installer at stage 2, which I had also downloaded. My start point was #2 "download the Arduino Environment", unzipped the downloaded file and made sure the folders and files were all in place, as per instructions. (NB the power and "L" lights worked as described) Even tried a different USB lead, that didn't workĭidn't try throwing it out of window, it's p'ing down out there! smiley-mad "Browse my computer" could not locate the. "Unknown Device" and "Code 28" on device lists No ports showing in device manager at stage 4

I'm not going to going into every detail, just to say that following the "Getting Started on Windows" led me up a blind alley (Windows 7) involving I the below on the forum a few days ago under the heading "windows 7 Code 28 and "Unknown Device" on "Getting Started"" - does it help? Like I said, that blinking light, and this error when compile. Avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
