As an update, I am getting this same problem on a Windows 7 machine, and 2 different Linux machines. Under the devices, it is listed as unknown, and the auto search is not finding the driver. When I try to connect or upload a sketch, I get this error: avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x2e
I am having problems accessing the Mayfly Data Logger in Windows 10. When plugged in, it is not recognized, nor can Windows find a driver. I do have the Arduino IDE installed, as well as the board files for the Data Logger. I tried downloading the basic FTDI driver files from FTDIchip.org, however when opening the serial port only gibberish is displayed, and I still cannot write a sketch. Any place I can find the correct drivers?
