DLPLIGHTCRAFTER: DLP Lightcrafter is not detected in Windows 8/10

Part Number: DLPLIGHTCRAFTER

Hello,

I have a DLP lightcrafter evaluation module. Windows 8/10 does not recognize it. nothing is shown related to it in either the network adapters list or the COM ports list in the device manager. Any help will be appreciated.

    Varun,

    Welcome to the E2E forums, and thanks for your interest in our DLP technology.

    Incompatibility with Windows 8/10 is a known bug which appears to be tied to the way drivers are implemented in the operating system. I recommend you use Windows 7 to program the EVM until a workaround is implemented.

    I hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Thanks a lot, Philippe. I tried talking to the DLP using a windows XP PC, with no luck. Also, I see that I also have the exact same problem as the one in:
    e2e.ti.com/.../323798
    where I see a red error LED on the top board, and red+green led's on the bottom boards, and the board is not responsive to the on/off button. I tried the solutions, but could not get the DLP working.

    I actually have the DLP with the source LEDs removed (because I just want to use the DMD). This was done by a previous person, and it worked out for him.

    Varun,

    The system is not expected to operate properly if the LEDs are disconnected. Are you certain that the previous user was able to get it working? I do not believe this use case is supported.

    Varun,

    Do you still need assistance with this issue? If not I will tentatively close this thread.
