I recently received the AD2, but having terrible luck getting Waveforms (3.8.2) to see the hardware.
I've installed/re-installed on numerous laptops (winxp, win7, win8, and win10), and the error is usually one of the following,
1) On the WinXp, 7, and 8 machines, I see the error : Post AVCC Device configuration failed and to try powering with the aux input
When I plug 5V into the aux barrel jack, the AD2 usually loses the usb connection immediately (device manager removes the 'USB Serial Converter' entry). But even when it doesn't lose the usb, Waveforms still reports the Post AVCC error message
2) On the Win10 laptop, I don't get the AVCC error, however, when I click any of the functions (Scope, Wavegen, etc) it pops up with a "Communication with the device failed"
Interestingly, in all cases the software lists the Serial Number and I'm able to select it, so I'm assuming the driver is ok. Also just plugging in 5v to the aux power, I'd expect *some* led activity, but I don't see anything. Only when the usb is plugged , and Waveforms has the error message, do I see an led blink (~500msec) near the center of the board.
I'm assuming the hardware gets tested before it ships, so it's something on my end, but after a week of trying, I have no idea what the problem is... it shouldn't be this hard, right?
