Windows 8: Windows will detect new hardware, but may not install a suitable
driver. If this happens, right-click the device in Device Manager, and click Update
Driver Software. Select Search Automatically. It may take some time, but
Windows will identify and install a compatible USB-to-serial driver from the internet.
Windows 10: Windows will detect new hardware and install a USB-to-serial

Once the driver is installed and the COM port has been assigned, start a
terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro. Configure it to use the
assigned COM port and use the following serial port settings: 115.2Kbps, 8,

your application.
