Typical Hardware Setup
Connect the right-angle female socket on the OPT3006EVM to the right-angle male header on the SM-
USB-DIG Platform, as shown in
. Take special care to make sure that the two 10-pin sockets
directly align with each other. Plug the female USB-A cable to the SM-USB-DIG Platform and then plug
the male USB-A cable into the computer.
NOTE:
Always
connect the two boards together before connecting the USB cable to avoid any
issues if the connectors are misaligned.
Figure 4. Typical Hardware Connection
shows the typical response when the SM-USB-DIG is plugged into the USB port of the computer
for the first time. Typically, the computer responds with a
Found New Hardware, USB Device
pop-up
dialog window. The pop-up window then typically changes to
Found New Hardware, USB Human Interface
Device
. This pop-up indicates that the device is ready to be used. The SM-USB-DIG Platform uses the
human interface device drivers that are part of the Windows
®
operating system.
