EZ430-TMS37157 GUI

Hello,

Im  having some issues with it the EZ430-TMS37157 GUI. I can't make it work either with Windows 7 32bit or XP 32bit. The installer runs, pops the USB drivers on, but the actual GUI cannot pick the device up (says unknown device whichever COM port it tries) and then throws exception errors if you try and click any of the buttons on the GUI to make it do anything.

 I've attached a screenshot of the error on Windows 7, the error is the same on XP.

 A few of the files mentioned in the manual don't seem to be on TI.com any more (it's dated 2009) so it's hard to judge if I have the right things downloaded, but there are so few items on the TMS31157 software page the possibility of error seems low.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks

Mark

 

  • Hi Mark,

    would you please check and delete some of the virtual com ports so the com port number will be reduced and smaller than COM68?

    This might be the source of the problem.

  • Thank you KSA, much apprecaited.

    That worked.

    I am not having much luck getting the RFID device itself to work without the battery. What I really need this to do is to flash its LED when it's in an RFID triggering field.

    Any suggestions if there is any way of making it do that?

    Thanks

    Mark
