Frequency Asked Question Problem on Unicon board & POP-XT driver install. 1. Inspect your drivers installed properly? 1.1 Check driver installation first on "Device Manager" Windows XP: Mouse's Right button click on "My Computer" -> select "Properties" -> select tab "Hardware" and click button "Device Manager" Windows Vista/7/8: Mouse's Right button click on "My Computer" -> select "Properties" -> click "Device Manager" on left panel 1.2 Driver not installed, no USB COM port present. if device icon still "!" this mean driver not installed or not working.. Right click on device name -> select "Properties"
1.3 Check driver missing on... Original driver of Arduino Leonardo have 2 COM port and 2 USB ID First: USB 0x2341 / PID 0x8036 is COM port for Boot mode Second: USB 0x2341 / PID 0x0036 is COM port for User run mode
Of course, User need to install both driver and follow Wizard driver install 2 times... to identify ID select tab "Details" then see what "Device Instance ID" report
if USB\VID_2341& PID_8036, this missing driver is "Boot" mode
if USB\VID_2341& PID_0036, this missing driver is "User run" mode
2. Update Driver : Step by step 2.1 First plug USB cable to Board then Power ON If the board are new from inventory, or had been "Factory Clear". There's nothing code to run and Loop running "Boot" mode. (on "Device Manager", you'll see looping of driver detected and disconnected..) Leave them, we'll update drivers manually.. 2.2 Force device (board) into "Boot mode" on below
Unicon board power off first, unplug USB and plug again. Push & hold button "31" then power ON, waiting for 2 seconds and release "31"
POP-XT board power off first, unplug USB and plug again. Push & hold button "OK" then power ON waiting for 2 seconds and release "OK"
After device appeared in Boot mode again, Hurry up!, Boot mode is active for 30 seconds. you need to click update driver in time.. 2.3 Right click on device name -> select "Update Driver..."
2.4 Meet Driver Wizard... Select -> "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" click "Next"
2.5 Specific driver location manually... Select -> "Don't search, I'll choose the drive to install." click "Next"
2.6 Continue.. click "Next"
2.7 We have driver.. click "Have Disk..." button
2.8 Manually locate driver's folder.. Browse on driver located on, default driver for Unicon & POP-XT are inside \Arduino\driver 2 architect of OS x86 for 32 bit Windows: default location is "Arduino\Drivers\Unicon POP-XT Driver\x86" x64 for 64 bit Windows: default location is "Arduino\Drivers\Unicon POP-XT Driver\x64" After select, click "OK" to continue..
2.9 Found match driver to device.. for "Boot mode"
2.10 Continue driver copying..
During driver coping.. you may see Warning from system to install unsigned driver for Windows XP click "Continue anyway" for Vista/7/8 click "Install this driver software anyway"
Now "Boot mode" is working..
3. Let's prepare device in Run mode. 3.1 Push "Reset" button. If board had been uploaded from others computer, it's will run previous code. If board is NEW and NEVER Uploaded, you need to push some code first. example of Unicon & POP-XT "Blink31" is good start) if board have some code , skip procedure to 3.4
3.2 Looking for fast & easier first upload without Arduino now? T Try utility which installed on software setup.. , "Unicon POP-XT Recovery" , run this..
prepare device in "Boot mode" first, wating for right below list show "COM.." name.. (COM number may be differ on each machine)
3.3 then Click "1.Test I/O" force upload into board..." If no serious problem, report will show "OK."
3.4 Now.. Windows may asked for Run mode Driver if not, choose manually like previous mode.
3.5 Meet Driver Wizard (Again)... Select -> "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" click "Next"
3.6 Specific driver location manually (Again)... Select -> "Don't search, I'll choose the drive to install." click "Next"
3.7 Continue (Again).. click "Next"
3.8 We have driver (Again).. click "Have Disk..." button
3.9 Manually locate driver's folder, same as previous location.. x86 for 32 bit Windows: default location is "Arduino\Drivers\Unicon POP-XT Driver\x86" x64 for 64 bit Windows: default location is "Arduino\Drivers\Unicon POP-XT Driver\x64" After select, click "OK" to continue..
3.10 Found match driver to device.. for "Run mode" Continue Run Mode driver copying..
you may see Warning from system to install unsigned driver (Again) for Windows XP click "Continue anyway" for Vista/7/8 click "Install this driver software anyway"
