Dear All,
I am using Arduino Nano 3.0 since quite some time for various applications. Since last week one after the other is destroyed, just by connecting them to a PC with Windows 7 64bit operation system (different PC tried, no hardware connected). But unfortunately this happens not always.
Error message in Windows 7:
The driver of the device can not be installed, Code28
Installing different FTDI drivers:
First I thought it is just the driver, but installing different drivers did not help. --> no sollution
Connecting a new Arduino nano 3.0: works most of the times. Sometimes the other one is destroyed as well.
--> Drivers are working but other FTDI chips seem to be destroyed
Atmel Mega Chip: is still working an doing its basic routine, just no communication via FTDI chip.
Possible Problem:
I found that Windows provides now for Windows 7 its own Driver and Update for FTDI chips. They are prefered in comparison to the FTDI Chip drivers. At the same time my problems started. --> Maybe this is the reason
Has anyone similar problems or at least some suggestions?
I can cry =(, I have a bunch of broken Arduinos now and still no clue how to avoid this problem.
Many thanks.
