7. TIPS & TRICKS & Troubleshooting
As you start working on a USB development project many technical question may arise. A good advice may therefore be crucial to get a sample application running. All the Windows applications on this website were developed with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or above on Windows 7 and tested on various other 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions. If something is not working there is usually a very simple answer: You just have to install a missing program library!
