Thank goodness I found this thread. I have been wasting a lot of time with GUI 1.0.4.1 and the latest firmware on two eval boards. One vanilla the other with an external wound coil. First one worked and the other didn't then I was getting the 'noisy' 32768 proximity reading & infinite Inductance problem and could not write to any of the registers. Both my eval boards came from Farnell in the UK and I thought it was me.
I have rolled back to GUI 1.0.3.0 and '0208' firmware and I have at least one EVAL board working again. I had to manually remove the 'EVM' driver and choose the 'LDC1000EVM' driver but apart from that it was plain sailing all thanks to this thread.
A question now remains, of course, this thread ran out of steam in April and it is now 22nd June so has anything been solved to make GUI 1.0.4.1 and some new firmware work properly?
TIA
Mike
