HELP FTDI killing my bluetooth W7

Post by jason »

Hi people,

Just got my RA+ and the FTDI adapter is killing my bluetooth, and being recognised as a bluetooth adapter.....

Windows 7 is just going crazy, trying to uninstall the FTDI driver.

Any work around ?

Ok, I did find a way to do it, on the FTDI website there is a "workaround" PDF document, and also I used the self-installer, works better than having W7 installing drivers on it's own.

Thanks for sharing.
I've never heard of this issue. It's good to know it exists :)
I've been using W7 x64 on my machines for quite a while , but never had this problem.

I use a DELL laptop with a BT mouse, and after installing the FTDI drivers, the BT mouse stopped working.

Now it works, and COM5 works as well, so happy about it.
