USB-DMX512 interface driver installation in Windows CE
To use the program in Windows CE, it is necessary to install a driver named D2XX. These drivers can be found in the program directory or on pages http://drivers.svetla.org and http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm. The following files are important for the driver installation:
• ftdi_d2xx.dll - the D2XX driver file
• ftd2xx.dll - application interface to the D2XX driver
• ftd2xx.inf - user changeable file to allow devices with custom VID and PID combinations to be installed
Copy all these files to the \\Windows folder on your device (PDA, mini PC and others).
Your device has to have USB host for the application to work correctly! If it has just USB slave, it is insufficient for connecting USB-DMX512 interface.
After connecting your USB-DMX512 interface, you will see the following dialog window.
Insert ftdi_d2xx here and press OK. Now simply run the DMX Light Control CE application.
Additional information about driver installation can be found on this page: http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm
