OMG Device is Not Recognized

If your OMG device is not recognized during the setup process:

Wrong Hardware Setup

Make sure the Active End of the O.MG Device is connected to the side of the O.MG Programmer marked OMG. Use either the Type A or Type C port, based on what connector your O.MG's Active End has. The opposing side of the O.MG Programmer, marked PC, needs to be connected to the computer using a USB Cable supplied by you.

Faulty USB Cable

The O.MG Programmer's port labeled PC needs to be connected to the computer that is running the firmware Flasher utility. The cable must have functional data lines inside.

Missing Driver

Make sure that the Silicon Labs CP210x driver is installed on your system.

Some operating systems (especially Windows) may require you to manually install CP2102 divers to be able to find the O.MG Programmer.

You can check the status of your driver installation with one of these methods:

Windows: Open cmd.exe and type driverquery | findstr /i "silab CP210" into the command line. If the driver is installed, it will be listed within the terminal. If nothing is listed, the driver is missing.

Linux: With find /sys/module/usbserial/drivers/ | grep -i cp210x you should be able to see if the driver is installed. If the terminal shows nothing, the driver is not installed.
