Login (User=driver, password=all). Start searching. I can't give you an exact link because I don't know your exact hardware.

First of all, I suggest you take a course in grammar and composition as soon as possible. Your posts are almost unintelligible.

Also, the key labeled "shift" (on your keyboard) will allow you to capitalize your letters. For starters, we usually capitalize the first letter of every sentence and "I".

Now... If the driver that you are missing is for your USB to serial converter, we cannot help you because we do not know what USB to serial converter you are using. You must go to the manufacturer's web site and download the driver.

If you are referring to the IFI loader program, it is available from the InnovationFirst web site: http://www.innovationfirst.com/FIRSTRobotics/pdfs/IFI_Loader.zip

Mike, let's be civil here - gracious professionalism. It is well known that internet communication is different than thesis paper grammar, and the younger ones of us are more used to the more efficient, albeit non-Queens English, aim-speak. As a mentor/coach we need to be sensitive to differences in generations, and delicate in how we guide.

My apologies if I have offended. My English is not the best in the world either. However, this type of communication is not yet acceptable in the workplace or, I imagine, in college.

And as far as being efficient, I would ask you if the young man or woman in question has gotten his or her program loaded into their robot yet? From reading this thread (and another where he or she continues his or her ramblings) I imagine not...

If this is just a translation issue and I am uneducated in aim-speak, then I imagine that someone else on these boards can help this student... I have not seen that happen yet.

Clear communication is a prerequisite in the world I live in and, I hope, the world where these students will someday be living and working. We have responsibilities, as mentors, to prepare them for that world.

BTW, I blame the whole capitalization thing on ee cummings anyway... ;-)

Peace...
