QK-AS06 Manual
7.2.
USB driver
To ensure successful communication between the wind sensor and your computer, installation of USB
adaptor hardware drivers might be required. Please note, although the AS06 can be connected to a
Mac or a Linux system to read NMEA 0183 data via USB, the configuration tool can only be run on a
Windows based system.
Mac:
No driver required. For Mac OS X, the AS06 will be recognized and shown as a USB modem.
Device ID can be checked with the following steps:
1.
Plug the AS06 into a USB port and launch Terminal.app.
2.
Type: Is /dev/*sub*
3.
The Mac system will return a list of USB devices. The AS06 will be displayed as -
"/dev/tty.usbmodemXYZ" where XYZ is a number. Nothing further needs to be done if your device
is listed.
Linux:
No driver is required for Linux. When plugged into the computer, the AS06 will show up as a USB
CDC device on /dev/ttyACM0.
Windows 7,8,10:
Drivers usually are installed automatically if your computer is running an original Windows 10
version. A new COM port will appear in the device manager, once the wind sensor is powered up
and connected to the computer via USB.
The AS06 registers itself to the computer as a virtual serial com port.
If the driver is not automatically installed, it can be downloaded from www.quark-elec.com.
