Drivers

Linux

You should not need to install any drivers for our devices to be recognized by Linux. You may however need to adjust permissions to make sure you have access to the serial port. On most distributions this can be done by adding your user to the dialout user group. Please check the specific instructions for your linux distribution for how to do this.

MacOS

On MacOS you shouldn’t need to do anything special to get our device to work.

Windows

All our products will work out of the box for Windows 10/+. If your computer doesn’t have CP2102N Virtual COM port driver installed previously, an unknown device will be shown in your PC’s Device Manager.
