The default mode is for Freescale demos.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There are two options to get this board to work on Windows 7:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Repeatedly tap the E8 capacative touch button while you plug in the board (keep tapping until you see the alternate flashing red LEDs) - see the picture below. This will not persist across reboots unfortunately.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Update the firmware on the board - You can use firmware from one of the sensor development kits (pictured below) or download the package from Microsoft (We dont' have this public yet)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG style="WIDTH: 620px; HEIGHT: 463px" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3376/3513770100_d138cfd9ee_o.png" width=620 height=463 mce_src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3376/3513770100_d138cfd9ee_o.png"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I will post download details and firmware update instructions when the download is posted.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;See ya,&lt;BR&gt;Gavin&lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9597599" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/gavingear/archive/tags/windows+7+Sensors+Freescale+Development+Kit/default.aspx">windows 7 Sensors Freescale Development Kit</category></item></channel></rss>
