I’m on Windows 7 x64. Install worked fine but when I connect the Servotor I see it show up briefly in the Device Manager under com ports, but after the board finishes booting it flips to an Arduino Leonardo under Unknown Devices. I’ve tried updating the driver then and pointing it both to the Servotor INF and to the Drivers directory in the Arduino IDE, both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 but I can’t get it online.
I’ve tested under a couple of Win7 x64 machines here, and they all seem to work fine, but Win7 x64 is a finicky thing when it comes to drivers. Other Arduino Leonardo users seem to have problems at random with it as well.
Sometimes it can be solved by plugging into different USB ports, and keep from plugging it into a hub if possible. This is especially true if your computer has USB 3.0 ports. Both of these are known to cause all sorts of trouble with different devices.
I can corroborate your experience. I am using a x64 win 7 laptop and I had the same thing. I first had it plugged into an USB 3.0 port but when I started using the USB 2.0 ports it worked better.
Thanks. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get it to connect to my main laptop on any of its USB ports. I finally got it to work on an old laptop that I had handy on my workbench but even on that one it wasn’t a smooth process. I had to “catch” the device during its bootup when it showed up as a Servotor32 and quickly use the update driver option to point it to INF in the installed directory. Otherwise it would finish booting to an unknown Arduino Leonardo and I couldn’t install any drivers.
Hopefully I’ll have better luck on my desktop workstation. Hexy didn’t work very well on that older laptop (dual-core Athlon 64, 4GB RAM) and I think that it was CPU-limited while running the Python scripts.
