   I had trouble with the "Couldn't find the DFU device: [1EAF:0003]". I noticed in the device manager that the hardware id was "PID_0004" so after uninstalling everything (and checking the delete drivers checkbox) i generated a new driver with libusb and changing the option of the hardware hex id from 0x0004 to 0x0003. Everything seems to work good now.

   HI -

   I just got my first Maple yesterday and tried it on my Toshiba netbook
   with Windows 7 'Starter'. Your instructions got me downloading within
   an hour. I still haven't figured out the serial monitor yet, but thanks
   to you the important parts are running. Thank You.

   There are also a number of known ways to bypass or disable the signed driver requirement on 64-bit Windows Vista and 7.

   Also, since version 1.2.0.0, according to the libusb-win32 wiki, 64-bit Vista/7 are supported. Not sure if the MapleIDE still ships with an older version but it's worth updating if it is. I don't own a windows machine, so I can't test it out.

   Okay, so I followed Bionic-Badger's instructions, but I'm not sure how to use the serial drivers. The Original IDE installation instructions say that after I reset the device after installing the DFU driver I should get prompted to add a serial driver, but I'm not getting that prompt. When I run the IDE the serial port menu item is grayed out. I tried uploading the blink sketch anyway, and something happened because when I get to where it should be running blink it does nothing rather than blinking as it did out of the package. Any ideas?

   Thanks,
   Steve

   I just got this working tonight. I didn't get the serial driver prompt either, but I noticed that when I reset normally (NOT to bootloader mode), I saw Maple R3 under "Other Devices" in the Windows device manager. I installed the serial driver to that device and I believe all is working well. I haven't tried to use the serial monitor yet, but it's available to me with an appropriate selection. Good luck!

   I and running Win7 64 bit. I was able to set up the dfu drivers to upload and the DFU is found. I tested the blink program and that works. Now I want to test Hello world. I cannot get the serial monitor to work. The Serial Port is grayed in the Tools menu on the IDE. I was never prompted for the serial drivers. I went into Device manager and manually added a device- comm port. I select the serial driver that came with the IDE. I then get an error code 10 and the driver cannot start. Any thoughts.

   I noticed that if you install the serial drivers first then the dfu drivers, then I can get both the serial and dfu working.

    For serial on winblows you can also look at Paul Stoffregon's windows serial installer.
    http://pjrc.com/teensy/serial_install.exe . It makes the operating system do what it is supposed to do when it sees a usb-cdc compliant driver: install the built in driver.

    Can you put the Maple into perpetual bootloader mode? You can do this by holding reset and just after releasing it, holding down the BUT button until it is flashing. In device manager, it should tell you if there is a problem with the device, if there is, post the error here.

    I am bit confused with this mode,when i press and release reset button it blinks very fast 6 times then slowly it will blink, but when i press both reset and BUT button and first release reset button and then BUT button the LED is not blinking is this perpetual bootloader mode,as suggested by you first i hit reset, released it then pressed BUT button now the LED is continuously blinks is this perpetual bootloader mode? if I keep on holding BUT button the LED is not at all stopping blinking.
    Thank you
