I am having issues with my board K8061 - extended USB interface card

My operating system is windows 7, 64 bit

I have been able to successfully install the drivers, the leds 10 and 9 turn on correctly and the RUN led is blinking continues.

But when i try to run the diagnostics program, or run the demo program, it still can’t open the device with:

“card not found”

Is there something i have to do special to get the software to work with the board, like recompile for 64 bit?

[quote]I have been able to successfully install the drivers, the leds 10 and 9 turn on correctly and the RUN led is blinking continues.[/quote]When the LEDs 10 and 9 are on, this indicates the connection to the PC is OK.
The RUN LED should stop blinking and the RX/TX LED should be dimly lit in this case.
It seems there may be an assembly problem on the board.
Please check first the right position of the optocoupler IC2 (should be opposite compared to IC1).

Sorry, i meant to write that the RUN led is continuously on.

I think I might need to try installing the jumpers that select the address to the board. Maybe it is having a problem detecting address 7 if there is no board at address 0?

Please disconnect/reconnect the USB cable when the address jumpers are changed.
