This was sent to me and I thought it might be useful for the Apple-People amongst you.
I thought this might be helpful for others with setups similar to mine. ?I have a MacBook Pro with M1 (ARM architecture) processor and run Windows 11 (ARM) in a Parallels virtual machine.
I received my new Micro-Trak AIO-4 today, and though I failed to buy batteries/charger ahead of time, at least wanted to check/modify the programming. ?I downloaded the FTDI Win11/ARM drivers from the FTDI website but simply could not get them to install following the instructions provided by FTDI (manual install) ¡ª Windows says, unhelpfully, only that it could not install the driver for my device.
After messing around with this for about an hour - plugging/unplugging, rebooting, redownloading, rereading instructions, googling, etc. - I stumbled on something super simple that actually worked:
After downloading and extracting the driver files for Win11 on ARM processors from the FTDI website, extract the files.
Navigate to the directory with the ARM drivers.
Right-click on the FTDIBUS.INF file, choose ¡°Show more options¡±, choose ¡°Install¡±.
Right-click on the FTDIPORT.INF file, choose ¡°Show more options, choose ¡°Install¡±.
TT USB immediately showed up in Device Manager as COM3, and TinyTrak config tool worked perfectly.
BTW, the web browser configurator for the MicroFox (I have a 15) is slick - on same MacBook, just download Chrome and DONE.
