Box 1 - not working on Element Console

Hi Nathan - you will want to confirm that your Element console is running the Windows 7 embedded operating system. As a simple guide, if there is only one network port on the back of the console, it is running Windows XP embedded, and will not support #lighthack devices.

Hi Luke.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's definitely a Win7 machine, unless they've managed to skin an XP device with a win7 theme. I haven't checked on the back of the device yet, so will do, but I can tell from the firmware update install processes and the window theming that it's not XP.

Ok, just to confirm, I checked the desk and it's certainly windows 7. I was able to launch the device manager on the console and saw that the arduino only appears as a generic "USB2.0-Serial" device with no driver.

Is there anything that usually needs to be done on the console in order to get a desk to connect to a box_1 project? I'm trying to avoid having to purchase another arduino (especially as I know this one works fine with my nomad software on my mac)..
