I have build the kit. Plugged in the USB cable as instructed in the manual and nothing happens, no LEDs light up. Nothing at all. The computer does not see a com port either.
What I have done:
I have 3 windows 8.1 PC’s so I tried to connect the USB on all of then, with the same negative result.
- All have the current USB-Com port driver, which works correctly on all 3 machines. I have a USB to Serial cable I use for my Raspberry Pi and it works properly with the same FTDI drivers.
- I tried with the 15v Power supply connected and disconnected
- I searched the forums for possible answers and found none.
- I used the USB port to upload to my Arduino UNO and it works properly.
So it is impossible for me to get to the next step with the K8200 which I need to complete a project.
I suspect the board is defective but I am unable to diagnose further.
Any advice would be appreciated?
