Anybody who has used the above with Windows 10? I cannot get it to connect/be associated with “Port 3”. The IDE sees and recognize the Tiny-Screen, and admit to the presence of “port 3”, but it seems to be beyond its comprehension to associate them…
got a link for the device you’re using?
The device per se is their TinyScreen+
My laptop is one of those horrible lenovo laptop running the horrible windows 10.
An Arduino Uno runs without problem, automatically associating the Uno with Port 4…
“Device FTDIBUS\VID_0403+PID_6015+DN00C140A\0000 requires further installation.”
After finally finding the SecrEt MiCRoSOft10 pASSage to the Device menu, the above is what I dug out associated with port 3… I think.
If that’s a clue.
That’s probably what it is. A bit discouraging that Microsoft would take away the functionning and conforting versions of Windows (3.1, XP, 7) and replace them with a version where everything is hidden, and yet as stupid as ever. Wish me luck in finding where the @#$%^&* is the device manager menu (a “search” of “Device Manager” comes out empty!..) but then again, I have all night.
Thanks!
Hi Stephen,
Microsoft Win 10 has facility to launch Bash Shell, may be Linux on Windows (see Jake’s Zephyr RTOS on Virtual Machine running on Windows host) may help?

Do you mind if I forward your contact info. to Sergii, a Vancouver based Microsoft “Evangelist” (higher up in the Applications Engineering)? He is into a lot of cool hardware-firmware projects around the Windows platform.

Thanks but no thanks, lol! A dev session on an Arduino device should not involve installing any new shell or OS, or having to correspond with gurus, too many assumptions and then suddenly the weekend is gone.
I have connected a standard Arduino Uno and will put a std LCD shield on it and go with that until Monday, when the Boys in Akron are available to give me the works about Windows 10 and their devices. And my Plan B is to fire up “Ye 'ole PC” and try it with XP.
Thanks for the help though, much appreciated!
You are welcome!
Having one PC with Serial/Parallel Port is good, especially for older instruments!
Best,

The device manager should still be available through explorer/etc and then right-clicking ‘my computer’ and then opening computer management/manage this computer.

Yes, I eventually found it. I also found out the menus in the Windows 10 version used on my Lenovo pos laptop does not have the same menu listings as the one used by the person explaining how to load the drivers… No such location as the mention(ned) destination so no motion but locosmotion…
I gave up, I do not have as much imagination as the Microsoft programmers. Yes, I am making an effort in being as polite as I am stupid when it comes to deciphering the world’s assumptions, lol.
I finally pulled out the old desktop XT and re-started the whole process… Eh, what do you know, now one of the manufacturer of the tiny screen menu is nowhere to be found…
I think I’ll build the thing straight out of TTL LS chips… Gates, not VLSI…
Nay, I’ll contact Ken himself, at TinyCircuit.
Thanks for the pointers, now I have a place to come back to retrieve this particular info!
