● If it does, skip the FTDI driver installation. Parameters of this COM port are 115200Bit/sec

Install FTDI drivers
From the FTDI driver web page, download the driver that fits to your system and install it. You should
then see the COM port that becomes created from the Radarcape.
Note: On the rigtht side in the table of FTDIs page, the 'Comments' column, there is a downloadable

Download and execute Putty terminal
We recommend Putty as console terminal, because it also supports SSH network connectivity.
Download Putty from here. There is no need to install, it is directly executable.
