Commerce Guys Blog STM32Duino Tutorial 3 - Maple IDE Installation

Windows XPExtract all the files in the ZIP file to a suitable location on your system (like your Desktop folder). And you have to install some drivers. Note that while these instructions work on Windows XP, changes in Windows 7 (and later) mean that you won't be able to install the IDE without disabling driver signing on your computer. Users on the forum have reported a workaround, but Leaflabs only officially support the IDE on 32-bit Windows XP. First, install DFU drivers (for uploading code to your Maple) using the following steps.1. Plug your Maple into the USB port.2. Hit the reset button on your Maple (it's the small button at the bottom left, labeled RESET). Notice that it blinks quickly 6 times, then blinks slowly a few more times.3. Hit reset again, and this time push and hold the other button during the 6 fast blinks (the button is on the top right; it is labeled BUT). You can release it once the slow blinks start.4. Your Maple is now in perpetual bootloader mode. This should give you a chance to install the DFU drivers.5. Windows should now prompt you for some drivers. In the top level directory of the Maple IDE, point Windows to drivers/mapleDrv/dfu/.Next, install serial drivers (for communicating with your Maple using serial over USB).1. Reset your Maple and allow it to exit the bootloader (wait for the slow blinking to stop). The Maple will next start running whatever program was uploaded to it last. (New Maples will start running the test program we upload to them before shipping them to you).2. Once Maple is running some user code, Windows should prompt you for more drivers. Point windows to driver/mapleDrv/serial. You can now run the Maple IDE by double-clicking on the maple-ide program from within the extracted IDE directory.
