Just a heads up regarding the Arduino Nano USB Driver.
After using a Nano on a Windows 8 system where it was plug and play, I moved my weather station over to a Windows 2008 64Bit server and had problems getting it to communicate "out of the box".
The problem was that the Arduino software seem to be only supplied with FTDI chipset drivers, not the CH340 chipset drivers which are needed by these Chinese supplied Nano's.
The offending driver is attached for others convenience.
