Help with Tams Controller in Windows 11

[Thomas Hirsch]

Hello Per,

since Win10 its is not allowed by Microsoft to use "unsigned Drivers" !

To use the TAMS Driver you have to disable the Control mechanisem in your PC!

for Win 10 Tams had this directions to disalbe it on Win 10

Perhaps there might be an similar possibility for Win 11!

Hello.

Thank you. 

I did try, and now I get an error-message saying that a driver has been found, but it cannot be loaded because it is defect, or has been tempered with.

Hi Per,
we had similar Problems at a users Layout in Frankfurt. We could solve the driver problems with the original silabs driver. Please refer to the Website of silabs, download the actual driver and install it manually.

Hello Bernd!

Thank you.  I looked at the site, but did not find any driver for Tams in Windows 11.  I guess I am not looking in the right places...

Regards,
Per.

Hi Per,
I,ll try to find the driver and send you a link later on. Currently i'm on vacation in Italy. The driver is not especially for the Tams Master Control but supports the chipset built in the MC

[Per Olsen]

OK, thank you!
I look forward to that.
I need to get WDP running on my new Windows 11 PC as soon as possible

Hi Per,

here it is: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads

Please download the CP210x Universal Windows Drivers, extract it to your hard disk and install the driver manually by using the windows device manager (right klick to the windows startsymbol)  Within the dialogue you have to choose "search for drivers on my computer" and then navigate to the directory where you extract the driver before. Maybe you get some error messages but  normally you can ignore them. The silabs driver should be a certified driver and so on win 11 should accept the driver. If you have success please keep the file and of course the link for future updates. In some cases the Windows Update are overwriting the drivers with otherones which don't work. It is possible, that the mumber of the COM-Port will changed You have to verify this and correct in in Win-Digipet.

Regards Bernd

Hi.

I had some time, so I tried it now.  I did exactly as described, unpacked the files etc.  But again, windows says it cannot find any drivers for Tams controller in the specified directory where I unpacked the files.

So I am still not able to use the Tams controller in my new Win11 PC.

Regards,
Per

SOLVED!

Thanks to Thomas.  I tried again, and this time it worked.  I disabled Win11 check of the drivers, and this time I could install a driver.  So now it seems to work.

I will test some more, but ity looks good!

Thanks to all of you for your help!

Best regards,
Per.
