'''Installing the FTDI driver'''
Usually, the driver is automatically installed by Microsoft Windows once the FTDI cable is connected to the PC. Therefore, the PC has to be connected to the internet and the automatic driver installation feature has to be enabled (default behavior). If you need to install the driver manually, go to the FTDI Chip website and download the latest VCP driver. Once the FTDI driver is installed, the FTDI cable connected to the sensor and to the PC should provide a virtual COM port.
→Connecting to the Board via USB
The sensor board can be connected to a PC via USB through an FTDI cable (delivered with the evaluation kit), which provides a virtual COM port. We recommend using a cable with an FTDI chipset instead of cheaper alternatives since a lot of our customers found cheaper alternatives to be very unstable. If you want to use a cheaper alternative, skip the next point and see the vendor’s website of your cable.
