- Align the pins carefully and secure with the locking screws (if present).
- Plug-and-Play:
- Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP: Drivers auto-install via Windows Update. Check Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) for the assigned port (e.g.,
COM3).
- macOS: Drivers auto-install. Verify via System Information > USB.
- Linux: Drivers are pre-installed (check
/dev/ttyUSB0).
- Manual Driver Download (if needed):
-
Choose a Terminal Emulator:
- Windows: PuTTY, Tera Term.
- macOS: CoolTerm, ZTerm.
- Linux: Minicom, Screen.
-
Set Serial Parameters:
