Leave Well Alone



I had given up on my USB/serial at home after my outfit's MCU dev board and the MSP430 failed to be installed properly. Learnt later that both used direct USB and I was always pointing windows to the virtual COM port drivers. I try half heartedly to plug in my Arduino today and - pleasant happenings - it works without me having to do a thing. There are some things you have to give M$ credit for. BTW, writing to the COM port from Autohotkey or anywhere (including MS-DOS command prompt) is the last link in my chain. There seems to be a ray of hope thanks to this post which I intend to scrutinize minutely :
