OpenTracker 2.4

User Manual (1.4.0)

USB Interface

The USB connector is used to program and debug the OpenTracker board.
To be able to communicate with the tracker via USB the tracker needs to be connected to a power supply as
well.

1. Install Arduino IDE 1.6.7 or later on the workstation used.
2. Use a micro USB Type B cable and plug it into the board.

3. If the drivers have been installed correctly can be checked with the device manager (Windows only)

When board is powered up and the USB cable is connected OpenTracker will be recognized as
Arduino DUE in section Ports (COM & LPT) as shown below. Only the COM port number will vary.

Please note:

If you encounter troubles with the USB driver we recommend to read the following pages:
