IoCube TD Plugin-10 QuickStart USB-microDig

What you need

For this walkthrough, you will need:

• A USB-microDig (with hardware v7.5) and its drivers (see below).
• A Turn (or other) sensor for testing.
• Touchdesigner software.
• ioCube.
• SiliconLabs driver.

Installing the USB-microDig

On both Windows and MacOS, you'll first need to add the USB-microDig as a virtual serial (or COM) port by installing its SiliconLabs driver. If your operating system is not the most recent version, you may need to install an older driver.

On MacOS, the drivers were installed correctly if the connected USB-microDig is listed in System Report (under About this Mac), in the USB section under Hardware. There should be an entry "I-CubeX USB-microDig".

On Windows, the drivers were installed correctly if the USB-microDig is listed in the Device Manager (select from the menu that appears after right-clicking on the Start menu) as a serial port with name "COM..".

On MacOS Sierra or higher, make sure to allow the driver extension in the "Security & Privacy" panel of the System Preferences, within 30 minutes after installation (or else re-install the drivers if MacOS doesn't show a way to allow the driver).

Connecting to the USB-microDig

1. Connect the Turn sensor (or any other sensor) to input #1 of the USB-microDig as shown below, with the red wire on top and the black wire on the bottom.
