hi,
i got my 2560 and installed the driver from the installation folder.
the computer recognize the board correctly and assign a com port.
the first time i uploaded the blink code, it worked OK, but then sometimes i can upload but most of the times i fail with error message regarding com port being used by another application.
if i restart the computer, sometimes it helps and sometime not. if i change the com port number it will work for the first change but not afterwards.
is there a chance that the virtual clone drive software interrupts the upload process?
also, i have vmware workstation 8 and virtualbox (latest) installed on this box...
i have this problem:
on my pc (win 7 x64), i have vmware+virtualbox installed. also i have virtual clone drive. also i have itunes.
i have disabled all the services that belong to these software.
on my father's pc (win 7 32bit), i have the vcd + itunes installed.
on my father pc i manage to upload and open the serial window every time i click the button, but on my pc i have many problems.
i found out on my pc that for the upload to successed, i have to click the reset button a second before it actually upload. after that, if i click the serial button, i see that the com port is in use.
just for say, i have managed to upload many sketches using an xp virtual machine on my win 7 x64 main pc. my guess is there is some problems with x64 version.
any ideas?
hey guys,
anything that can help??
now my com ports in the IDE are gone and i cannot select anything (gray) while the port is ok in the device manager.
