Newb with Avalon3 single module issues

[Dizzee]

(just to explain the why... I started mining a few years ago with my basic computer that sat dormant a lot.. I spent some, lost some (mtgox et al) recently I logged in and found a few bitcoins)
so I bought 3 avalon3 single modules, a usb hub and a raspberry pi... direct from avalon plus 3 x 650w hx psu's

so far I've just tried to connect 2 of the modules to my windows 8 desktop (as I'm also new to raspberry)..
I have used zadig to install WinUSB to USB-Serial Controller D (this is the usb device that shows then goes when I insert and remove the usb cable) after I have installed WinUSB I no longer get the error in cgminer telling me to install WinUSB.

I have tried using cgminer and bfgminer neither can see the  modules.

The modules are LOUD... once I get it to work I'll see what can be done.

I've tried two modules separately (not linked/chained) and 2 controlling boards with the same results all combinations.

I am stumped.

Thanks

Good luck.

just an update,
I've done as you suggested lynn_402 but my guess is that USB-Serial Controller D means that there is no firmware installed on ANY of the 3 modules! also I bought the raspberry pi with the 3 single modules and that seems borked also...
when EVERYTHING bought seems broken I do wonder if it is a fault of my own.. I am trying everything
