hi everyone,
as you know when the arduino board is connected to computer,
if the driver is installed the arduino board name seen as "Arduino UNO".
i need to change the "arduino UNO" to another name in "Ports (COM & LPT)" list.
is it possible? and how can i do that.
Why?
working on a atmega328 based project developed in arduino IDE and want to make the device name my own brand (Fenestron for example) when the user plug it to the computer.
It is Windows/Arduino/AVR driver issue. I saw something about it here sometime ago. Like having your own USB drivers/ID.
But you can hack Arduino drivers. Check carefully every Arduino driver file. Then you just install/uninstall drivers until they work, perhaps do a system restore or two.
Go to /arduino/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/usbcore.cpp
At line 52 ish you'll see where it gets those strings. Modify accordingly.
This is interesting, allthough I am not the original poster.
What do you gain if buy an USB ID from Front Page | USB-IF?
Thank you ! it work bobbaddeley
but after programming 4 IC it started to not working even if i use the same usbcore.cpp file :~
