If you have VCP drivers installed on the PC that will be used to perform the EEPROM write
process, you must uninstall these drivers using the uninstaller program (included with the driver
files) and install the D2XX drivers prior to running the serializer utility.
QUICK START GUIDE
This guide requires the use of a Windows 98/2000/XP PC that is equipped with a USB port.
1. Download the DLL version of the device drivers from either dlpdesign.com or ftdichip.com.
2. The board can be configured to receive its operating power from the USB port or from user
3. Connect the DLP-245SX board to the PC via a standard A-B, 6-foot USB cable. This action
The DLP-245SX is shipped with default VID, PID, etc. values programmed into the EEPROM.
You only need to run the serializer program if you want to change the default values.
At this point, the DLP-245SX is ready for use. Note that the DLP-245SX will appear
non-responsive if data sent from the host PC is not read from the FT245BM device by the SX28
microcontroller.
If changing drivers from the VCP to the DLL type (or vice versa), you must first uninstall the
currently loaded drivers. This is accomplished by first disconnecting the DLP-245SX adapter
from the host computer and then running the uninstall program for the currently loaded version of
Unzip the drivers onto a blank floppy disk or into a folder on the hard drive.
electronics. Pins 14, 15, and 16 allow for this configuration. (Refer to the Pinout Description
in the next section for a detailed description of the DLP-245SX electrical interface.)
Note: The board will not operate until a power source has been selected as mentioned in
Step 2.
initiates the loading of the USB drivers. When prompted, select the folder where the DLL
version of the device drivers was stored in Step 1. Windows will then complete the
installation of the device drivers for the DLP-245SX board. The next time the DLP-245SX
board is attached, the host PC will immediately load the correct drivers without any
prompting. Reboot the PC if prompted to do so.
