having the same problem as another person with the EVM disconnecting every 10 seconds...

have the latest GUI from TI's website...

help!

  • Hello Teresa,
    I apologize about the inconvenience. I believe that your EVM still has an old firmware revision. To make the EVM compatible with the Sensing Solutions GUI, please follow this procedure:
    1. Please install the old LDC1000 GUI www.ti.com/.../snac058. The GUI should prompt you to upgrade the firmware.
    2. After the firmware upgrade, the new Sensing Solutions GUI should work with the EVM: www.ti.com/.../snoc028

    Please note:
    The LDC1000 is only recommended for metal type identification applications. For all other applications, I recommend using one of our newer devices; They offer many advantages over the LDC1000:
    • The high-resolution multi-channel LDCs (LDC1612, LDC1614) are L-only devices which offer greatly improved measurement accuracy, better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, easier design integration, and multiple channels.
    • The mid-resolution multi-channel LDCs (LDC1312, LDC1314) are L-only devices which offer better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, easier design integration, and multiple channels.
    • The high-resolution, high-speed LDC1101 supports both L- and RP-measurements,  greatly improved measurement accuracy, better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, and easier design integration.
