Launching and Running the Software
The TMP1075EVM is recognized by the host as a generic human interface device (HID); therefore, there
is no required proprietary driver to install on the user's PC. It shows the typical response to connecting the
USB-to-I2C converter board to a PC USB port for the first time. Typically, the computer responds with a
Found New Hardware: USB device pop-up dialog. 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 USB-to-I2C Converter uses the human interface device drivers that are part of the Microsoft
Windows® operating system.
