I tried to install the drivers of my new AX027 cable on my Windows 8.1 laptop but I keep failing.
I first used the preinstaller method like described in the manual. After plugging the cable in, I tried to download a program on the Picaxe but I got thee "Hardware not found" error. I tried the USB cable test and the cable worked fine. Next I took a look at the Device manager, this is what it looks like:
The device is called "USB Serial Converter", not "Picaxe...smth" and it shows up in Hardware/Devices as TTL-232R.
I've tried to remove and install the drivers manually but Windows keeps installing this driver and doesn't let me install the drivers from the Picaxe zip, it says the "best possible drivers" are already installed.
I also tried it on an old Win XP computer but I didn't even get to the point of installing the drivers. Following the instructions of the manual, I plugged the cable in and Windows immediately installed a driver without asking me anything. The Driver seems to be similar to the one on the Win8 PC, except that it is older (2009/2014).
