Hello,
I purchased a set of Wireless charging evaluation boards (RX & TX) on Mouser.com for $160.
The 2 board names are STEVAL-WBC86TX and STEVAL-WLC38RX.
I use STSW-WPSTUDIO V1.8.4 software to try to connect to the board from my PC and get access to the register setting. But every time I click on the Connect button, there is the same error message appearing:
"Unable to find any [RX]WLC38 device. Please check your connection again."
The issue is the same with both boards.
But it seems the boards are working, because when I place STWLC38 on top of STWBC86, the boards are charging, because I can see the red LED on the receiver board, and Vout is 5V.
So the main issue is the GUI.
I cannot use the ST GUI to connect to any of the ST boards that I paid $200 for ! (with shipping + fee cost)
My computer is Windows 11. And the board is properly connected through a USB-A to USB-C cable.
I followed the steps from the user manual. The 2nd USB-C connector of STWBC86 is connected to 100W USB-C adapter. So the boards are powered on, because I can see the LED turned on. I tried with other USB cables, and it is still the same issue.
And I didn't install any USB driver on Windows because I didn't see mentioned anywhere the requirement to install a driver to use this board.
Do I need to install a USB driver ?
- GUI Error message with STWBC86 evaluation board:
"Unable to find any [TX]WBC86 device. Please check your connection again."
- GUI Error message with STWLC38 evaluation board:
"Unable to find any [RX]WLC38 device. Please check your connection again."
I don’t understand why there is such critical issue with new boards right out of the box ??
I have used STM32CubeProgrammer in the past to connect to a low cost $10 STM32 Nucleo board, and I never faced any USB connectivity issue. It was simple as plug and play.
What needs to be done for WPSTUDIO to detect that the computer is attached to the $160 Wireless boards ?
