I too am having the same errors, I can't get anything to upload to the maple.
[ala42]"Cut and paste the characters of the error message."
Here is the cut and paste of the message:
Searching for DFU device [1EAF:0003]...
dfu-util - (C) 2007-2008 by OpenMoko Inc.

Couldn't find the DFU device: [1EAF:0003]
I used the same process as describe in the post: [http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=73#post-788] by Bionic-Badger. When I do this the Maple is temporarly removed from COM27, Place in the LibUsb section of Device manager, then it is place in the Com27 upon uploading, and when the maple goes to reset it is pushed back up to Lib, then back to com27 at which point it fails to upload sketch.
My operating system is: Windows 7[SP1]
Processor: AMD Phenom 2 x4 965 3.4GHZ
Ram: 4 GB
System Type: 64 Bit
Drive space: 4 Terabytes [ :) ]
Any help would be appreciated.
