AtTiny85 COM Port - Cannot Find

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello,

I recently bought an Attiny85 programmer from Sparkfun:

I installed the driver for this unit, first from Sparkfun directly and then from Adafruit. This appears to be OK.

I then manually updated Arduino hardware folder to include attiny folder.

I open the Arduino environment, and everything looks great. I can find the Attiny85 under Tools->Boards.

The only problem is, I cannot find the COM port where the programmer is installed. I go to Device Manager and clearly see the device, however it is not recognized as a COM port. Instead, it listed under "libusb-win32 devices". The programmer is then listed as "USBtiny".

Does anyone have any idea how to point Arduino to use this device or how to route this device into the list of COM ports?

Thank You!

Sorry guys - I posted too soon!

I needed to specify that I am using this programmer, going to Tools->Programmer: "USBtinyISP".

Sorry for the unnecessary post.....

There's no need to specify a COM port when using an external programmer. Go Sketch>Upload Using Programmer.
