Installing Drivers
To install drivers for a DA-70166 device under Windows 7, follow the instructions below:
Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC.
If there is an available Internet connection, Windows 7 will connect to the
Windows Update website and install any suitable driver it finds for the device.
If the automatic installation takes place there is no need to continue with the
procedure outlined below.
If no suitable driver is automatically found then the following procedure should
be followed. Press the Windows start button to bring up the start menu and
select “Control Panel”.
From the Control Panel window select Hardware and Sound
At the next screen select Device Manager:
In the Device Manager window there will be a device under Other Devices with a
yellow warning symbol to indicate a problem, i.e. no driver installed. The text next to
this device will depend on the device attached. In this example the device was a
TTL232R device.
Right click on the other device (TTL232R in this example) to bring up a menu as
shown below.
From the displayed menu select “Update Driver Software…”
This then displays the option for an automatic search or a manual search.
Select the second option to browse manually.
In the address box put the exact location where the drivers have been saved to. This
may be on a CD or in a folder on the PC. It is not necessarily the exact same location
as shown in the screenshot. The drivers could have been saved anywhere of the
users choosing.
After entering the address select “NEXT” to start the installation.
When the installation has finished a completion screen is displayed.
Press Close to close this window and go back to the Device Manager Window.
