This section introduces you to USB driver development. The section applies to you if you are new to driver development; want to implement a driver for a USB device, for which Microsoft does not provide an in-box driver. Such a driver is termed as a USB client driver in this documentation set. The topics in this section describe high-level USB concepts and provide step-by-step instructions about performing common tasks of a USB. Our Industrial USB Cables replace combinations of serial adapters and cables. Each cable allows you to directly connect to the USB port on your computer which helps simplify the set-up and installation of switches and/or devices.

These instructions are generally applicable to all Fender amplifiers equipped with USB audio. N o special drivers are necessary for either Windows or MacOS to record audio from your amp to your computer. In the “Sound” preference pane l, confirm that your amplifier is visible as an input device in the Input tab. Once selected you should. The USB 2.0 driver stack is designed to facilitate high-speed USB devices as defined in the USB 2.0 specification. At the bottom of the USB driver stack is the host controller driver. It consists of the port driver, Usbport.sys, and one or more of three miniport drivers that run concurrently. The driver download area could be called by any of several different names including Downloads, Software Downloads, Driver Downloads, Drivers, Drivers and Firmware, Drivers and Software, etc. If you visit a website's home page first, look for a Support area. Any driver download options will probably be located within that area.

HEX-USB+CAN
Intelligent Dual-K plus CAN <-> USB Interface
(Out of production -- no longer available)

This interface comes with an OBD-II type connector which plugs right in to most 1994 and newer VW's and 1996 and newer Audis. Most 1990-1995 Audis and 1990-1993 VW's have the '2x2' data link connector, click here for more info.

Compatibility:

This interface works with all diagnostic-capable VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models from 1990 through 2015.
It does NOT fully support the following vehicles:

Computer Requirements:

We recommend at least a 1 GHz Pentium-3 (or AMD equivalent) with 128 MB of RAM and Windows XP or newer. Windows Vista, 7, 8. 8.1, or 10 on a machine robust enough to support the respective operating system are also fine. As of version 10.6, we no longer support Windows 95, 98, ME or NT4. If you're using a PC that has a CPU speed less than 1 GHz and which has a Serial port, then you should consider the Serial HEX-COM+CAN instead.

Extending this Interface:

The cable on this interface is about 6 feet long -- just right for most laptops. The USB standards do not allow for passive extension cords! We have tested many Active USB extensions and have found one that works. You can order the 16-ft Active USB Extension from our Store. We do not sell or support any other brands or models of USB extensions, if you have problems when using one, the first thing we're going to tell you is to eliminate the extension.

If you plan to use a desktop PC, we recommend you buy a serial HEX-COM+CAN Interface instead.

Resale:

This interface acts as a 'dongle' for VAG-COM, so the software should be fully functional on any PC you use with the HEX-USB+CAN. However, product support is provided only to the original purchaser. If you buy a second-hand HEX-USB+CAN from someone and want support, you'll still need to pay $99 to register.

Software:

The HEX-USB+CAN should be used with the latest version of VAG-COM software.

Known Issues:

This interface performs best with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10. It can be used with Windows 2000, but performance may be somewhat degraded if using Windows 2000 and compatibility with 'difficult' control modules may be reduced.

Notes:

This interface requires a special driver to be installed on your PC. It does not emulate a COM port. That means this interface will not work with any other software besides VCDS.

We do not sell any interface adapters as a 'Stand-Alone' products. We only sell them with our VCDS software.

Driver Installation:

How to order:

• Out of Production. No longer available.

This section provides guidance how to establish serial connection between ESP32 and PC.

Connect ESP32 to PC¶

Connect the ESP32 board to the PC using the USB cable. If device driver does not install automatically, identify USB to serial converter chip on your ESP32 board (or external converter dongle), search for drivers in internet and install them.

Below are the links to drivers for ESP32 boards produced by Espressif:

• CP210x: CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers

• FTDI: FTDI Virtual COM Port Drivers

The drivers above are primarily for reference. Under normal circumstances, the drivers should be bundled with an operating system and automatically installed upon connecting one of the listed boards to the PC.

Check port on Windows¶

Check the list of identified COM ports in the Windows Device Manager. Disconnect ESP32 and connect it back, to verify which port disappears from the list and then shows back again.

Figures below show serial port for ESP32 DevKitC and ESP32 WROVER KIT

Check port on Linux and macOS¶

Drivers Csn Industrie USB Devices

To check the device name for the serial port of your ESP32 board (or external converter dongle), run this command two times, first with the board / dongle unplugged, then with plugged in. The port which appears the second time is the one you need:

Linux

macOS

Note

macOS users: if you don’t see the serial port then check you have the USB/serial drivers installed as shown in the Getting Started guide for your particular development board. For macOS High Sierra (10.13), you may also have to explicitly allow the drivers to load. Open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General and check if there is a message shown here about “System Software from developer …” where the developer name is Silicon Labs or FTDI.

Adding user to dialout on Linux¶

The currently logged user should have read and write access the serial port over USB. On most Linux distributions, this is done by adding the user to dialout group with the following command:

on Arch Linux this is done by adding the user to uucp group with the following command:

Make sure you re-login to enable read and write permissions for the serial port.

Verify serial connection¶

Now verify that the serial connection is operational. You can do this using a serial terminal program by checking if you get any output on the terminal after reseting ESP32.

Windows and Linux¶

In this example we will use PuTTY SSH Client that is available for both Windows and Linux. You can use other serial program and set communication parameters like below.

Run terminal, set identified serial port, baud rate = 115200, data bits = 8, stop bits = 1, and parity = N. Below are example screen shots of setting the port and such transmission parameters (in short described as 115200-8-1-N) on Windows and Linux. Remember to select exactly the same serial port you have identified in steps above.

Setting Serial Communication in PuTTY on Linux¶

Then open serial port in terminal and check, if you see any log printed out by ESP32. The log contents will depend on application loaded to ESP32, see Example Output.

Note

Close the serial terminal after verification that communication is working. If you keep the terminal session open, the serial port will be inaccessible for uploading firmware later.

macOS¶

To spare you the trouble of installing a serial terminal program, macOS offers the screen command.

• As discussed in Check port on Linux and macOS, run:

• You should see similar output:

• The output will vary depending on the type and the number of boards connected to your PC. Then pick the device name of your board and run:

  Replace device_name with the name found running ls/dev/cu.*.

• What you are looking for is some log displayed by the screen. The log contents will depend on application loaded to ESP32, see Example Output. To exit the screen session type Ctrl-A + .

Note

Do not forget to exit the screen session after verifying that the communication is working. If you fail to do it and just close the terminal window, the serial port will be inaccessible for uploading firmware later.

Example Output¶

An example log by ESP32 is shown below. Reset the board if you do not see anything.

If you can see readable log output, it means serial connection is working and you are ready to proceed with installation and finally upload of application to ESP32.

Note

For some serial port wiring configurations, the serial RTS & DTR pins need to be disabled in the terminal program before the ESP32 will boot and produce serial output. This depends on the hardware itself, most development boards (including all Espressif boards) do not have this issue. The issue is present if RTS & DTR are wired directly to the EN & GPIO0 pins. See the esptool documentation for more details.
