jwlittle:

I too got caught out by buying a copy of DSO 201 from Ebay in September.
i got the one pictured on page 6 of this post “Digital storage Oscilloscope” and when you hold minus button at power on Device firmware upgrade 3.21a"
If you find yourself with one of these Do not download or use DFUSE because you cant use it.
Do not try to find or install any alternative windows USB drivers you dont need to.
if you have fitted a microSD card into the device remove it for the upgrade and deal with it later - these can cause freezing if incompatible

Get the 2 files from Alf’s attachment post for v3.64. “Next Step: BenF V364 / V353”( Alf post is 8th on page 4) when the USB connects open a folder to view files. Do not expect to see any files in the folder before you upgrade.
although it looks like a disk or a removable drive in windows it does not behave like a disk. just drop the files in and wait for them to transfer. no errors means all is well. the Device itself will not show any changes during upgrade.
Power off and on the DSO201 when you dare!
I know all this info is in the above posts i just thought it helpful to summarise it

Thank you to ALL the contributors for this post. not least all the pioneers including Alf and Mrstubbs you were amazing

Hello,

Sorry but don’t get it:

I got ver 1.5 with 2 GB SD card.

I take the card out;
power on the DSO in USB mode
screen remains blank
Windows disables the “unknown USB device”
what folder am I going to open when it connects?
where do I drop the files from Alf’s attachment?

This is all meant to provide a workaround for this proplem here http://www.seeedstudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3944
