DRV8842EVM: Problems with Evaluation module software CPG004-5

Part Number: DRV8842EVM

Hey.

I have problems with the evaluation board.

I have tried to connect it to a computer and in the bottom of the window it says connected. But the Red/Green window never turns green and i cant do anything with the evalutaion board.

I have tried on windows 7 and windows XP

The program even says connected even thoug the USB cable isn't inserted.

Let me know what to do to make this work.

I am running the program with the windows xp compatibility mode. as it says in the ReadMe File.

It is the DRV 8842 evaluation module i have problems with.

  • Hi Claus,

    In the GUI there is a pulldown that allow changing com ports. Please make sure the correct com port is selected prior to connecting.

    Can you provide a screen capture of the GUI and a screen capture of the device manager showing the Ports available?
