5.0 Installing USB Drivers

The virtual UART drivers are included separately with the CD-ROM.

To install the virtual UART drivers

1. First connect the two USB cable connectors to two USB ports on the host PC. This is required to supply

enough power to the YROTATE-IT-RX62T board.

2. Connect the USB cable to the YROTATE-IT-RX62T board.

3. The host PC will detect the new hardware and start the driver installation. Follow the Windows

instructions, selecting <NOT T IS TIME> to the request for an auto atic driver search by Windows. Then

click on <SELECT A PAT > to select the appropriate YROTATE-IT-RX62T drivers on the CD-ROM in the

folder called “Drivers”.

4. If the auto atic installation fails, the drivers can be anually installed. Browse the CD-ROM in the folder

“Drivers\YROTATE-IT-RX62T Drivers”.

6.0 Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The GUI is installed during the installation process. To start the GUI click on the Motor Control De o ICON in

the start enu or on the desktop

Please note that for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users, it is necessary to run the GUI as “Run as

administrator”.

It is reco ended that the USB cable should be connected to the PC and the board before opening the GUI as

this akes the connection process easier. The GUI can be opened without the board being connected.
