USB console drivers

To connect via USB to the console of the door controller, a file download may be required if you are running on a Windows computer (for Mac and Linux, no additional drivers are required). The driver is already in Windows, however the .INF file is required to tell Windows which driver to load.

Windows USB driver installation

The following instructions are taken from the [Arduino] site:

• Plug in your board and wait for Windows to begin it's driver installation process. After a few moments, the process will fail, despite its best efforts
• Click on the Start Menu, and open up the Control Panel.
• While in the Control Panel, navigate to System and Security. Next, click on System. Once the System window is up, open the Device Manager.
• Look under Ports (COM & LPT). You should see an open port named "Arduino UNO (COMxx)". If there is no COM & LPT section, look under "Other Devices" for "Unknown Device".
• Right click on the "Arduino UNO (COmxx)" port and choose the "Update Driver Software" option.
• Next, choose the "Browse my computer for Driver software" option.
• Finally, navigate to and select the driver file named Media:Arduino.inf arduino.inf,
