Driver Usb Serial Port Octopus Box Download

I have found that I have 2 styles of Nano clones. Type #1 are labelled 'Arduino Nano' which is improper but typically Chinese. They worked before but are now dead. Apparenlty they have the counterfeit FTDI chip LABEL. Of course a customer (me) has no way of knowing that the chip is counterfeit. FTDI has recklessly disabled user equipment. Lawyers should profit handsomely from this infantile blunder.

All your input devices must be working under Windows (i.e. The old version of the USB driver must not be running, the device should not be disabled etc.).

Type #2 are labelled 'DCCduino'. They use a 3rd party USB chip called 'CH340' from the vendor 'WCH'. These nano boards are unaffected and continue to work. You have to download & install their driver. (chinese site - use translate to english). You must modify the downloaded Ftdi Driver: This article is mine!

Ftdi has modified the own actual driver to disable Chinese Fake Chips! The driver is changeing the Chips PID to 0000 instead of 6001 so you must change the Inf File for port and Bus, after this you must uninstall the drivers in Device Manager with connected FT 232! Before reinstalling the modified driver you have to disable your Internet Connection, otherwise you download the infected FTDI drivers from windows update.

The Pid modified driver will appear now as a uncertified Drive, you must agree to install! You can try to change after theis the pid back to 6001 but after repowering the board the Ft 232 will be reinstalled and the pid will be reset to 0 (zero) so FT Prog is unable to see the FT232!

Does the IDE recognize that you want to program via the ISCP? How does the Uno fit in this loop? I have two Uno's and five Mega's. I'm only reluctant use them because I don't have a board for them that has the few extra screw terminals for the sensors and control relays. The SD card reader might be a problem. I have same, but currently no way to access the pins in the socket, if that's what's required.

If the Uno can bail my Nano's out, that would be great. Just point me to a tutorial on the hookup.
