So I've had my Arduino UNO for awhile (I received it as a gift), but have not been able to play with it until today. I plugged it in and.. I get "Unknown Device"
Device Status
"This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources. (Code 29)"
I tried 3 different cables, all three had the same issue. I plugged in power and tried to plug in the USB, but it still had the same issue.
I tried to reset the board, but it didn't do anything.
I tried to install the drivers in the drivers folder and got this:
"Windows determined drivers were up to date"
I selected the option of "have a CD.." and got the following:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
I try to upload a sketch and get syncing errors.
Please help me, this is frustrating me and I was really excited to work on projects.. but this isn't working out.
I got the Arduino from JamesCo which is a reputable electronics seller.
