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 (D2XX) version of the device drivers from either dlpdesign.com or
2. The DLP-245PB-G can be configured to receive its operating power from the USB port or
3. Connect the DLP-245PB-G board to the PC via a standard A-B, 6-foot USB cable. This
The DLP-245PB-G is shipped with default VID, PID, etc. values programmed into the EEPROM
memory. You only need to run MPROG if you want to change the default values.
At this point, the DLP-245PB-G is ready for use. Note that the DLP-245PB-G will appear
non-responsive if data sent from the host PC is not read from the FT245RL device by the
16F877A microcontroller.
If changing drivers from the VCP to the DLL type (or vice versa), you must first uninstall the
currently loaded drivers. To accomplish this, first disconnect the DLP-245PB-G adapter from the
host computer and then use Add-Remove-Programs in Control Panel.

from user electronics. Pins 18, 19, and 20 allow for this configuration. (Refer to the Pinout
Description in the next section for a detailed description of the DLP-245PB-G electrical
interface.)
Note: The board will not operate until a power source has been selected as mentioned in
Step 2.
action 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-245PB-G board. The next time the DLP-245PB-
G board is attached, the host PC will immediately load the correct drivers without any
prompting. Reboot the PC if prompted to do so.
