Thank you for replying Chao. I got the FirmwareUpdater to work! It turns out that in my case(Window7 64bit) I needed to manually install the drivers and use the “usb2ser_Win764.inf” file. Now the Rephone works fine and is programmable through the Arduino IDE as well.
It’s a bit embarrassing that I didn’t see that note in the tutorial regarding Windows 7 sooner. Perhaps you might consider [size=150]increasing the font size[/size] on that line in case other people run into the same issue. You also could include it in a troubleshooting guide if you have one going.
Thanks again for getting back to me. Now I’m off to have some fun with my new RePhone
