Hello Robin,
How are you sending values from the file?
Since it is coming in device manager (hopefully as a CDC serial port), you can verify your SCI code using teraterm/hyperterm.
I hope you are able to flash the code using CodeWarrior.
Send/receive data from/to the MCU using terminal. This will verify your setup and then you can work on sending data from the file.
If this post helps you, kindly mark it as correct/helpful answer.
