USB with Nav

[247stu]

Hi

I am trying to connect a TMC receiver to my navigation box I can see all the com ports and I see my device on com 1 for host port and com 5 for other usb port but the primo nav software does not see a device. Does the nav have access to the usb ports

Hi.
GPS uses COM1. We don't have compatible TMC antennas. the ones that were compatible, were of the same manufacturer and were connected to the UART socket.

Hi
Thanks but that does not answer my question is the nav software capable of seeing the usb ports how is the internal config ?

Hi.
That's because we didn't quite understand it. What should the software see on the USb port? If you are talking about the TMC antenna, we don't have them in our store, and we don't know whether USB TMC antennas will work with CS9200.

Hi thanks for reply

what I ask is that I have USB and it needs FTDI driver I can load driver but can Nav board see all USB ports I see the device in the device tree but my nav program does not recognize it I have run mix ser tester.exe it sees GPS port but does not see any other device connected to USB ports ????

I purchased this unit because your blurb said a tmc and other devices can be connected so far I have found no usb device can connect

Thanks

Hi.
TMC antenna is connected to UART, not USB. Via USB you can connect modem (driver for SimCom 5320 is installed by default, there is patch for ZTE MF100, Huawei E150/E160/E173), Wi-Fi adapter, mice, keyboards, etc.

Hi

I am trying to use a usb port for a couple of things and I want to use a FTDi driver I have managed to load drivers in registry and they appear in the tree but when I plug in USB device it asks for the driver I type this in and the it says there is a error with the device name PLEASE HELP !!

Drivers are attached just change file type to REG

Hi.
Copy FTDi driver to Windows CS9200 folder. Connect hardware keyboard to USB. When device is booted, connect your device to USB, and when the system asks for the driver, write its name in the appeared window.

Hi Thanks for that I have both drivers loaded I can see them in the driver registry and when I connect the USB I see it in the device tree but I cannot communicate with it it appears that there is no path to the USB port can you provide a firmware that will install the path I wish to connect to Hobd but it does not see the com port PLEASE HELP

Hi.
Here is the patch
Copy the patch on the memory card, launch patch from the explorer, wait until the message appears, press OK.

Set СОМ port 0 in the Hobdrive settings. Try speed starting from 9600.

Please, write about the results.

Hi Thanks for the patch it loaded can you explain how it should work as I plugged usb device in powered up CS9200 the USB is connected to COM 1 so no nav also no Hobd connection can this patch be configured to use COM Port 3 as well is the code available ??


Thanks

Stu

Hi.
COM1 is used for GPS. In Hobd set COM 0, since other ports are occupied.

Hi have not got it to work can you supply the same sort of exe but using the cp210 driver instead of the FTDI driver or the code please

I am beginning to think this cs9200 is just junk as I have not found anything that will work with it !!!!!!


FRUSTRATED

[Chortenia]

If itdoesn't work with this patch, then, unfortunately we can't help. We don't have experience with cp210 driver and don't know in what registry branch it should be.

Hi
I finally got Primo 2 Nav to work on your unit with a USB TMC device It was challenging but it works just great
