Connecting over USB is not working (Windows 8, new Photon)

Getting Started

Hello harrisonhjones,

thanks for your input and your help. It is now working. A summary of my steps for other people getting into trouble:

  1. I used particle serial wifi COM3 to set up the wifi data. It seems to be important to answer the first question with yes otherwise the SSID was left blank
  2. After this I was one step further. But I ran into this problem and did all the steps mentioned on this page
  3. Something was working not as expected after this step (sorry, I forgot while fighting with the photon) I gave TeraTerm a try and now it is working as expected. (Did the Hello World and the led is flashing now)

Thanks to everyone helping out. Really hope for others that the setup process will be optimized. :smile:

Cheers,
Tim
