COM drivers on win 8.1 x64

[Mr.Nordheim]

First thing first, if this is the wrong place to post this then feel free to do whatever you want with it

As stated here: http://micropython.org/doc/tut-repl. Installing drivers on win 8.1 is not that straight forward since the driver is not signed.

Driver Signature Enforcement must be deactivated first. once that is done you can install the drivers, I used the "let me pick from a list...." method to install.

If anyone is interested I can create a tut on it, but first i gotta play with my board =)

Hi,
we have a wiki up for users now. I just started to create a page covering those steps.
However, I do not use Windows (but I am aware of the problem).
Hence, I would really appreciate if you could add your solution to the page.

Thanks

CC. I moved the thread to the Micropython Board subforum.

[Mr.Nordheim]

I'm heading for the wiki then, glad to be of some help!

Edit: spelling....

Edit: Update...

Ok, So I added a few (too few really) screenshots to the page and some writing.

I really have to excuse myself cus my dear laptop decided that uninstalling the py com driver was not gonna happen so I did not get the screenshots that I want. However, I'll be installing the driver on my workstation so I'll bring some fresh shots then.

I'm not too familiar with drivers in windows, but there is a foundation out there that signs open source drivers. I don't know whether the one shipped with micropython is open source.

I think my drivers file got corrupted. After correcting it, the drivers are installed successfully when I followed the procedure in the WIKI.

Thank you all for your help.
