Smart Sensor Installation

Have you as I asked try chose Uno instead off nano?

[Utvol5]

Yep , if you mean within the arduino update tool. I have chosen uno, but can't change the com port and hit update with the same error message occurring ?

Send me a private mail, then we mnight find time to a teamviewer sesion, then we will sort it out..

One last try, your PC might have some serius security settings, so try startup RCS64 by rightclick on the ICON and chose "Run as administrator"

Looking to try again some time later today and will let you know

[Utvol5]

Well no luck, even under administrator, when I click update Arduino board u see com port 3 flash in for quick second then disappears with com port 2 showing up?
Let me know a good time to try team session, Thanks

Good morning and Happy New Year Fellas
Wanted to take a moment and post an  update on the challenge that I was experiencing with the Pit lane sensors and my PC's recognition of the Arduino board. Martin joined up with me on Monday and worked through all of the possible reasons for my PC not recognizing the Arduino board and came to the likely conclusion that my PC's com port was just not functioning properly. So we tried a second lap top and with Windows 7 and everything worked without a problem. Still unsure why the PC was having that problem but suspected may have been a windows update b/c I tried on a third PC with windows 8 that recently had windows update performed and encountered a similar situation where the com port connected with the Arduino drive was not recognized and thus not workable.
Any rate the board is working fine on PC #2 and my son and I have enjoyed racing with the Pit sensors set to auto upon entry. The program that the RCS team has put together is awesome and much easier to navigate through and thus more enjoyable than the previous version.
Thanks again to the RCS team (Martin) and  everyone else's input that helped to get our track up and running smoothly again!
