FTDI drivers.

Post by G4EWJ » Tue Aug 21, 2018 12:32 pm

I had a problem programming some Arduino Nanos and it turned out to be just those with the FTDI FT232RL USB-serial chip. They programmed fine on another PC.

When I checked the driver, it was signed by Texas and had a version number very much different from those on the FTDI site. It's a new PC, so it probably installed the driver automatically the first time I plugged in an Arduino / MiniTiouner.

I used the FTDI removal tool to take out the driver and replaced it with 2.12.28 from the FTDI site and the Arduinos will now programme OK. I don't think the FT232RL chips are fake. The Arduinos came from a batch and the FT232RL chips have different serial numbers.

The Texas signed driver had been running MiniTioune without any problems.
