This document provides instructions for installing drivers to allow a Windows 10 computer to communicate with an STM32 unit via a USB connection. It describes downloading and extracting a driver package, then installing the correct driver for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. Once installed, the document explains how to determine the COM port number assigned to the virtual serial port in order to configure software to communicate with the STM32 unit.

this will download a .zip file you will need to extract the files before being able to install the driver. Install the STM32 USB Driver. This does NOT install the driver, it installs the installs for windows 7 and windows 8/10
Then you need to Nagivate to this location on your computer to install the correct driver for your computer.
In the folder are Win 7/8 drivers for both 32 bit and 64 bit OS's. I tried the Win8 64 bit one on a Windows 10 PC and it worked.
Choose the correct folder that matches your computer type.
Use the "skip" button to skip looking for the driver on Windows Update, then Windows should assign it a COM port number which you should note down.
Plug in the USB cable and let the drivers install, it might take 3 minutes.
Then try to download the pasture cover.
Determining the COM Port Number of a Virtual COM Port:
Once the driver is installed, you will need to find out the number of the Virtual COM Port that has been set up. In the majority of cases, you can determine the Virtual COM Port by following these steps:
1. Open Device Manager:
Click: Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager (under "Devices and Printers") – if this doesn’t work you will need to google this information but most computers.
2. In the Device Manager list, look in Ports and find the Virtual COM Port, which was created by the USB driver. i.e.___ USB to Serial Port___ (COM #).
If you plug your platemeter in while you have the device manager open you will see a new device pop up with a COM number, you will need to make sure this COM number is displayed in the pasture management software (as shown below)
