  1. FTDI Driver (Most Common for M810):
    • Navigate to the FTDI Chip website.
    • Download the VCP (Virtual COM Port) drivers for your operating system (Windows 10/11).

Step 1: Identify Your Connection Type

  • Note: This is temporary. After installation, reboot normally.

Downloading the driver is only half the battle. The M810 must be configured to send data in a format your software understands.
