Hello, my name is elliott. And I am trying to download the ftdi chip into my windows 7 but its not working. Im doing this becuase im getting an error and its leading to this problem. When i download the file all i get is a winwar file and theres olnly but of what i see codes. No setup program. I really need help i have 64 bit. This is my first time ever with arduiono so if you could use simple english, and i might ask some qustions to. I have some people trying to work with me, but i Need not one or two but like five or six. Im doing this project for my lol sheild, from arduino. Please someone help me. Ive been working on this for about a week and this program is the only thing blocking me for further work. Im new to arduino and i do need lots of help. Thanks and have a great day.
Elliott.
According to the below, the Uno does not use the FTDI chip.
The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.
Not much point in installing the FTDI drivers then ...

What error?

The FTDI chip is hardware. Win 7 is software. Please explain how installing hardware in software is going to work.

This is the English language forum. There is no gibberish forum.

Why? Are you that slow?
