Windows 8.1 and Arduino 1.0.5-r2

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hi folks,

I've just set up an ASUS VivoPC for my dad. It is running Windows 8.1. I tried installing the Arduino IDE version 1.0.5-r2. A fellow on #arduino said this:

jhanarato: awesome, thats the repaired-certificate version

Which it seems to be - the driver was installed without the usual problems I see in places like this:

Now, I've got my code compiling fine. But In the IDE Tools/Serial Port/ shows only COM1. If I try to upload my code I get this error:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

The board is powered and runs the last code I uploaded to it.

So, I humbly ask your assistance.

OK, user error on my behalf. The freetronics eleven requires it's own drivers to be installed. After getting around the unsigned driver problem everything worked and my code uploads and runs.

Cheers!
