If I remove the LaunchPad from the USB while TeraTerm still is running, the connection of the two remains disturbed. Thus Hotplug does not go. So far it only helps to close TeraTerm. Afterwards (!) disconnect LaunchPad from USB, wait for the sound sequence, connect again, and wait for the sound sequence again, then open the terminal.
When using the FET-Pro430 Programmer, follow those instructions, |
