Cannot connect to the master brick. Winerror 10061

[RKT]

I just got my master brick. I see a master brick device, but cannot see the master brick in brick viewer.

I have got the latest Windows 10 updates installed. I can't find a brick daemon in the services. What is the problem? And more important how can I fix this problem?

Do you have installed BrickDaemon https://download.tinkerforge.com/tools/brickd/windows/brickd_windows_2_4_3.exe ?

Try to reinstall. After correct installation there is a service called Brick Daemon which have to run.

This worked. I couldn't find Brick Daemon install. On the website it said that for windows 10 you did not need to install Brick Daemon.

Where did you find the information? Brick Daemon have to be installed always.

I see how you can interpret the docs this way: The section about the manual driver installation says

Quote

Windows 8, 8.1 and 10

Since Windows 8 no driver for Bricks is needed anymore. Windows 8 and later recognizes Bricks automatically.

However this only means, that you don't have to install the driver, you still have to install Brick Daemon itself. I've clarified this in the documentation.
