1. Install USB UART driver

Go to https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

  • Download the driver based on your operating system. My operating system is Windows 7 (64-bit). uart-driver

  • Unzip the file and run CP210x..._v64.exe (if your Windows is 64 bit). Run CP210x...v32.exe (if your Windows is 32 bit). Don't know what is 64 bit? Then use the 64 bit version. uart-driver-2

  • After finishing installing the driver, put in your UART USB to your USB port of your laptop, check the Computer management > Device Manager > Ports, you should see "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge". Your COM number may be different. So remmember your COM number for later section. uart-driver-3 Done.
