Hello all,

I would like to be able to use my Microview with BASCOM but that requires using the arduino drivers.
When I try to update the driver, using the uno for example, bad things happen to my XP machine.
It resets my XP machine every time I plug in the Microview with the Programmer.

Does anyone know which arduino driver can be used instead of being setup as a Virtual Com Port ?

Regards Larry

Hi Lander72,

If you are using the MicroView's factory USB programmer, then you need the FTDI driver

Please refer to "Install Driver" section

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I was hopeful that there was a possibility to use the Uno driver;

May I know if you are facing any constraint that is preventing you from using a virtual com port?

As far as I know, most Arduinos are using virtual com port including uno. Uno is using ATmega8 or 16 to act as a virtual com port.
