Scenario

You have purchased an MX2- V2 drive and want to program the drive using CX-Drive. You are unable to connect to it. 

 

Issue

You are required to select the V2 option when creating a new project on CX-Drive but it doesn't appear. 

 

Solution

To connect the MX2 V2 drive to CX-Drive, you are required to have the latest version of Cx-Drive, version 3.0.2. This will provide the option for V2 drives

You can download the latest version of CX-Drive at the following link.
