Installing Driver

Install CP2102 Driver on Windows System

Now, let’s install the driver of keyestudio MEGA PLUS control board. Its chip is CP2102 serial chip.
Some system（WIN11） can’t install automatically driver but you could install it by hand.

Download: https://fs.keyestudio.com/CP2102-WINDOWS


Click the link to download image-20230426100746100.png, and we unzip it to image-20230426100852988.png.

Unzip again and we will get the folder image-20230426101012182.png. Please remember the path of this folder for later use.

Right click Computer—– Properties—– Device Manager.

Click “Browse my computer for drivers” to find the downloaded Arduino software.

wps8.jpg

There is a DRIVERS folder in Arduino software installed package, please open this folder and check the driver of CP210X series chips.

Click “Browse…”, then search the driver of CP2102 and click“Next”.
