I'll probably just ssh in over WIFI with Putty to get what I want done. And worry about getting the PiUART working latter on. I've already moved it to another PI zero, same issue. This isn't the first time I've struggled with out of date or incorrect tutorials at Adafruit. I'll see what happens Monday. I posted this issue on their forum. I'll give it a day or two, then do the "contact us" thing. Really sore tonight so I may hit the hay early.
No, the driver search was for the Windows 10 PC. Once its all setup on the Pi you plug the other end of the USB cable into the second device your going to connect with. I chose my Windows 10 laptop. According to the tutorial Windows should auto install the driver when it see's the UART at the other end of the cable. That sort of happened. It was detected, then I got the "setting up your device" message. And an "all setup" message. Only problem was, no working driver was actually installed. I had to go hunt one up for Windows 10. Then I tried Putty but it wouldn't connect. Rebooted the PI, and noticed the aux-uart cant get clk message. Adafruit replied, I need to run dmesg and post the results. Will do that in an hour or so after my morning walk.
Looks like its more of a Raspbian issue. Open Raspberry PI config and enable serial, and you should see what I'm seeing. You'll see a could not get clk error message. It's doing it in Stretch too, without my PiUART even plugged in. Just doing a update upgrade now. I know Adafruit is going to ask me if I id it. I posted on Pi Foundation forum too.
big flea marked setup began today at work,, i found this cube clock radio with a feature that shows clock on the wall or ceiling .. would be interesting item,if the Pi could control the led ,,,,, one never knows ,till one carefully takes it all apart !
not sure why it flipped the picture sideways
