Arduino FIO does not connect to Arduino IDE

hi,

for the past few days I have tried to use an Arduino FIO in combination with an Xbee. I use a breakout board (http://mklec.com/modules/micro-controller-modules/ftdi-ft232rl-usb-to-serial-uart-breakout-board) to connect to the FTDI pins on the Araduino.

but when i try to connect it to my laptop, the IDE does not show the board. It just says "COM8".
When i try to Upload it doesn't work.

does anyone have experience with this board?
