Is there a 32 bit driver that will work on windows XP
« on: July 22, 2018, 13:12:18 »
Hi there.
Got my Astro EQ board up and running today using my Windows 8 computer.
Brilliant.
I have tried to plug it into my obs computer which is running Windows XP.
Now the problem I have is the driver for Astro EQ is 64 bit and XP is 32 bit.
Anyway around this or have I got to get a new computer for the Obs.
Thanks.
Graham

Hi Graham,

I believe the driver should work with both 32bit and 64bit OSes - I've installed it on a 32bit Windows 7 OS before. I don't however test for XP, it's a long dead OS - if it doesn't work on that, I can't help.

Having said that, the driver is actually from Microchip Inc. and not one that I wrote myself.
The PIC uses Microchips standard CdC class device implementation, so you should be able to find a suitable driver from them directly.

Kind Regards,
Tom.

Well wouldn't you know it.
Went back and tried again and it loaded straight away.
Thanks Tom
