Drivers
“A careful
driver
is one who honks his horn when he goes through a red light.” - Henry Morgan
A folder named ‘InTurn_
Drivers
’
appears after unzipping;
Install the Arduino Drivers (only if this is a new install)
Plug in the USB cable to any USB port on your computer.
Windows should complain about the new USB device.
Tell windows to look in the folder:
C:\InTurnMotorControllerDist
2015-xx\
InTurn_Drivers
Note: Bolded numbers are year and rev and may be different than shown.
Windows will find and install the drivers then be happy with the new USB device.
To determine which COM number the driver created, use the following steps
Make sure MACH3 is NOT running.
Power OFF the InTu
rn™ Controller.
Power ON the InTurn™ Controller.
On the menu bar at the lower left of the WINDOWS screen, click the following sequence:
Start->Control Panel -> System -> Hardware (tab) -> Device Manager (button) -> Ports (COM & LPT)
There should be a ‘Communications Port’ Identified as Arduino Mega and a COM# after it. Write the
port number of your InTurn™ Controller below. You will need it later.
