COM1 works with IDE and RS-232, but cannot program via USB to Propeller Demo Bo

LoopyByteloose

Well, the Propeller Tool works fine with my 40pin DIP and regular COM1.

But, I am moving over to the USB port to use the Demo Board.

My guess is that this requires a driver for the USB configuration, but I don't have it.
Please advise.

Kramer,

I believe drivers for the FTDI chip on the Demo Board can be found here:

Thanks, I got it to work by using those drivers. It seems someone should either point to them from the Propeller Demo Board page or they should be included with the IDE on the Propeller Downloads listing.

I realize this is just startup and loose ends are being pulled together.
