I’ve got a RGB LED lighting project I’m doing for a friend. I think that some combination of #1 and #2 will get you past this. This is what Microsoft thinks you should do.

However, that is likely to have its own learning curve.Ĥ) Buy a USB Vendor ID for yourself ($5K), get the device driver professionally tested (~$400 just for Windows 8 64-bit based on my experience) and signed ($250). You might be able to get an Ubuntu Linux on a USB flash drive that allows you to use the same tools without installing anything permanently on your PC. This might need to be done in conjunction with option #1 above.ģ) Windows is the only OS that requires a special driver file to use the new board (notwithstanding reports of OSX Mountain Lion above - not sure about that). This may work better under 32-bit than 64-bit (where I believe the enforcement is more severe). It may then allow you to use this if you suffer through enough warning dialogs first. inf file with the Arduino VID/PID (probably provided with whatever you installed for the kit). If you go into the device manager and tell it to load the driver, it may force you to browse to the location of the. Not a great or permanent solution, but if you're just trying to get something done, it may be an option.Ģ) Try to coerce Windows into loading the driver. Historically, when you disable the driver signature enforcement, Windows re-enables it on the next reboot. Windows 8 apparently does this differently than before - it used to be that hitting F8 on boot would get to a menu that would allow this, but apparently now they have brought that control up into the OS. While I haven't done anything with Arduino yet, there are a few things I can suggest.ġ) Get Windows to disable device driver signature enforcement.

Some details can be found here:įrom that link, it is indicated that Arduino started using their own USB vendor ID (VID), so the device will not be identified as nor work with anything related to FTDI.Ħ4-bit Windows has been a lot more picky about unsigned USB drivers than prior versions. This board does not have an FTDI chip - they replaced that with another USB bridge (atmega16u2). Could you find a little space on the Sparkfun servers to host those old revs?

zip file is corrupted.Īlso, I couldn't get schematic diffs because your previous version pages don't host the documentation, they point to the product pages on, which have been updated.

zip file is empty/corrupted (144 bytes means it's really compressed).

An unknown component near the ICSP header - I'm guessing a diode - on the reset line? The schematic doesn't show it, there's no reference designator, and the 'Eagle Files'.

According to the images, untented vias (or at least the annular ring is uncovered) on the top side, making it slightly easier to solder wires to the PCB or short something out.

Opens up more possibilities for USB apps!

Uses an Atmega16U2 instead of the Atmega8U2 on the previous version.Larger heatsinking copper area for the LM117 regulator.This is great makes it much easier to access with a shield on. Reset button moved from center of board to corner near USB connector.The male pins on the shield above 'reset' (which is currently on a 6-pin header) would interfere with the bulk power supply caps. The added pins are a pretty huge change - Future shields which use these pins won't be compatible with existing Arduinos.It might be good to note all the changes in this board from Rev.

The open-source IDE can be downloaded for free (currently for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux).

Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. The Uno R3 works with all existing shields but can adapt to new shields which use these additional pins.Īrduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/ Wiring language. The other is not connected and is reserved for future purposes. One is the IOREF that allows the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In addition, there are two new pins placed near the RESET pin. The Uno R3 also adds SDA and SCL pins next to the AREF. Never fear for accidental electrical discharge, either since since the Uno R3 also includes a plastic base plate to protect it!

No drivers needed for Linux or Mac (inf file for Windows is needed and included in the Arduino IDE), and the ability to have the Uno show up as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc. This allows for faster transfer rates and more memory. In addition to all the features of the previous board, the Uno now uses an ATmega16U2 instead of the 8U2 found on the Uno (or the FTDI found on previous generations).
