Arduino 0020
September 27, 2010
Arduino 0020 is now available from the usual place
No linux version yet but that will no doubt be here soon.
The new arduino boards with the ATmega8U2 have their own USB PIDs hardcoded in and the VID hardcoded as “Arduino”.
All boards with the FTDI chip are still supported the same as they used to be.
It should be easy enough to modify a bit of code to support any new arduino compatible boards with with the new chip and a VID (&PID).
It has been mentioned in the forums that quite a few people would like a VID for arduino compatible boards. This costs roughly £2000 but for a community such as this, it should not be too tricky to come by. More news on this as/if it happens.
When installing 0020 in windows you will get an unsigned driver message (for the USB drivers) but this is nothing to worry about. When using mac (and linux) there should be no such messages.
