EightByEight Windows 10 Drivers

Hey all,

I was wondering if there's any instructions to get an EightByEight installed on a Windows 10 machine. I seem to be able to get the serial driver installed, but not the DFU. I have Pattern Paint 2.0.3 installed, but there does not seem to be any compatible drivers for the EightByEight. When I click on 'system info' from the help menu, it detects the Blinkinlabs EightByEight on COM7, but there are no detected blinkies listed. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers,

    Hi! At the moment, the EightByEight is only working with Arduino as a programmable badge. We'll have support for it in PatternPaint soon, though.

    For Windows 10, the Microsoft-supplied TTYACM driver in Windows 10 should be compatible with the serial port, so the port is showing is a good place to start. The DFU driver is only needed to upgrade the firmware on the ARM part (that's creating the serial port, and doing the low-level driving of the matrix).

    We do have a driver for the serial port, DFU, and DFU in bootloader mode here, however it looks like the signature isn't correct- I'll regenerate that and post again when it's up:

    Ok, they should be updated and signed correctly now. On a fresh Windows 10 machine, I had to run device manager, and then manually select the 'Update Driver Software' option.
