Problem pairing Bluefruit ez link with Windows 8.1

Post by skeksis »

I just purchased the Bluefruit E-Z link module and want to use it to control an Arduino UNO remotely.
My android phone has no problem pairing with it but every time I try with my PC, which is running Windows 8.1, it tells me "That didn't work! Try again and make sure the device is still discoverable." It always appears on the list of available devices but simply will not pair. I cannot find any FAQs that address this problem so i'm assuming there is something that I am doing wrong but any advice would be much appreciated.

huh there could be something odd with win 8.1 - is it possible for you to try it with any other version of windows computer (worth a try!)

Same problem here. Actually both this and the serial backpack driver (inf file) fail with windows 8.1. Signed drivers appear to be the future...still doesn't explain the Bluetooth not pairing...
