Thanks, you reminded me. To get it in HID Bootloader mode, you have to press one of the buttons while you plug the USB cable in (the program button I think). Once it is powered, I think you can let go of the button. Then see if HID Bootloader recognizes it.

The FTDI is for versions prior to 1.80 (once you get the Hex file into it). But since we are trying to use 1.80:
"CPUStick.inf file needed for Windows (v1.80) -- just save to a file, right-click, and select Install, and you're ready to go!"
