Driver Installation on Windows 10



Assuming you have already downloaded VCP drivers and Zadig Tool. Links shown here:







Install the VCP drivers (you may have to reboot your laptop\PC)



Now open Device Manager, the Zadig Tool, and Cleanflight Configurator. In Zadig, select 'List All Devices'.







Plug in your SPRacingF3 Mini (I recommend that when you plug in any FCB, you plug the micro USB cable into the board first and then plug the PC side in, especially when having to unplug/replug multiple times in a session) into your PC\Laptop.



In Zadig, you should see STM32 Virtual COM Port which you want to highlight and select. DO NOT JUST BLINDLY SELECT THE FIRST DEVICE LISTED!!! Someone accidentally replaced his SATA drivers and hosed his OS. He bought a new $800 computer instead of asking for help first. The Geek Squad told him the drivers physically destroyed his hard drive, which we all know is BS:







Select it and then install the USB Serial (CDC) driver (as mine's already installed it shows 'Upgrade' vs 'Install'):







You may have to reboot your PC\Laptop but you should now see the Serial Ports in both Device Manager and Cleanflight Configurator:







Now, unplug your USB cable from the PC\Laptop end, hold in both A and B buttons on the SPRacingF3Mini and plug the USB cable back in and hold the A/B buttons for 5 seconds, and the release them. The board will now be in DFU mode. In Zadig select STM32 BOOATLOADER from the drop-down selection:







Select WinUSB (Ver #) and install it (once again, mine's already installed so it shows 'Reinstall'):







You may have to reboot your laptop\PC again, but now in Device Manager you should see under Universal Serial Devices STM32 BOOTLOADER and in CF your DFU device:







I'd appreciate if this works for you, you can confirm it.



Thanks I've gone through this a couple times now and have made a tutorial that will hopefully help you all having connectivity problems:Assuming you have already downloaded VCP drivers and Zadig Tool.
