Hi PAN-M,
What does it show up as? "EVM" or "LDC1000EVM". If it shows up as "LDC1000EVM" you need to force install the driver:
---------------------------------------------
Windows should install the right drivers if you install the new drivers through the GUI installer and restart your system *without* the device plugged in. If this does not work, however, there is a way to do this manually by accessing the device manager, selecting LDC1000EVM, and installing the driver in the application installation folder /driver (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments LDC1000EVM GUI\driver" ). The driver filename should be "evm.inf".
1. To do this on Windows 7, select "Devices and Printers".
2. right click "LDC1000EVM (COM#)" > Properties > Hardware Tab > Properties > Change settings
3. Driver Tab > Update Driver... > Browse my computer for driver software
4. Enter the location of the application installation subfolder "driver"
5. Continue on with the dialog and finish
6. Your device should show up as "EVM" instead of "LDC1000EVM"
---------------------------------------------
If it shows up as "EVM" your firmware might be out date. Start up the GUI. On your EVM, short +5V and LDCLK temporarily while plugging it into USB. Open the short. Then:
In the GUI try using Tools > Flash Firmware. After a couple seconds you should see "1 device(s) in BSL found." Then, select "Open..." and navigate to the firmware subfolder of the application installation directory. Select "LDC1000 Firmware 0x300.txt." Press "Update"
---------------------------------------------
Thanks,
