Bluno Mega 1280 Driver and upload problems
![userHead](https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/dfPortrait2.png)
I am running Windows 7 and purchased two of the Bluno Mega 1280s both are having the exact same problem.
The Bluno shows up in windows as "! Unknown device"
When I try to install the "Special Driver" through
Going to Device Manager
Right clicking "!Unknown Device"
Clicking on "Update Device Driver"
Selecting "Browse my computer for driver"
Navigating to my "Bluno mega 1280 special driver" folder (Where the Arduino MEGA 1280 R3.inf is located)
then press "Ok"
then press "Next"
I get the error
"Windows was unable to install your
Windows could not find driver software for your device."
I can however run AT+ commands on the Bluno Mega
I have restored it to default. None of the link lights are on, only the bright Red light.
I have attempted to manually install the drivers in "Legacy Mode". When I install them this way the device is then listed in Device Manager correctly.
When I go into the Arduino IDE 1.6.5 and under tools select"
Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560"
Processor: "ATMega1280"
Port:COM8 "Arduino (Uno)" <---This does not change
and try to upload a sketch, I get these errors
Sketch uses 2,704 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 126,976 bytes.
Global variables use 200 bytes (2%) of dynamic memory, leaving 7,992 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 8,192 bytes.

I assume the driver isnt working correctly when I manually install them.
Are any new windows drivers available for the bluno?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I was doing GREAT coding and playing with my Bluno all night last night. I fire it up tonight and I cant upload to it!
When I try I get this no matter what sketch I try to send!
"vrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x006b
0xe2 != 0x00
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch"
Just for kicks I try the ATMega 1280 Processor and I get this:

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
At least the driver is displaying as
"USB Serial Device"
I dont know what could have happened...
Help!
again...

When I try the Special driver I get an error that the INF does not contain signature information.
It does work though so I guess for me upgrading to Windows 10 resolved the problem.

It seems like half of the drivers are stuck in Windows somewhere and now Device manager is basically confused. I have tried resetting the FileRepository, and a few other tricks. Any other ideas or information you guys need from me
to help me out?

I am also running Windows 7 SP1

I saw you mentioned MEGA2560, then I want to confirm one thing that you mean Bluno Mega2560 but not Mega2560, right? They are different!
This is quoted from the previous email I sent to Roboshop guys, I don't know if this info would help:
I pluged a Bluno Mega1280 from our storage on my pc(Win 10), it's recognized automatically as a USB serial device COM33 but not Mega 1280 as I expected, however, after I choosing the right boad type(Mega1280) and port, and click to upload sketch, it's successful suprisingly!
So as a conclusion, if the board is ok, then>
1 Win7 - Install the official driver for Bluno Mage 1280
2 Win8 - Disable digital signatures(From Sparkfun) > Install the official driver for Bluno Mage 1280
3 Win10 - Perfect on Win10, use it freely
Mac and Linux are all ok.
then what's you pc?

I actually repurchased The Bluno 1280 and Bluno Mega 2560 from this site this time in hope that the hardware would be better.
I dont know what the heck... I cant install the Bluno 1280. My error is now different and it notices what the device is unlike before, but I get and error when I install the special drivers that says
"Windows found the driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
Arduino Mega 1280 R3
The system cannot find the file specified."
I also tried the Mega 2560 but I cant find usb drivers for it at all.
Both show up in windows as DFRobot Bluno.
Looks like there are no instructionsa at all for the Mega 2560.... omg I should have looked before I dropped 50 bucks again....

Where did you buy the BLE Mega 1280? Roboshop?
I think we have replied the email about the same question.
