Pico USB Devices Driver Download For Windows
This section provides guidance how to establish serial connection between ESP32 and PC.
Need a Bluetooth Driver for your accessory? If you are having Bluetooth trouble, updates should be available through Microsoft's Windows Update service. If drivers were not downloaded automatically by Windows Update, use Device Manager to refresh the driver from Windows Update, or contact the device manufacturer. Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows. Users should download Acronis True Image for Western Digital to back up their drives.) WD Drive Utilities for Windows.
Intel Android device USB driver is a freeware software download filed under drivers and made available by Intel for Windows. The review for Intel Android device USB driver has not been completed yet, but it was tested by an editor here on a PC. To find the latest driver for your computer we recommend running our Free Driver Scan. D-Link DWA-121 Wireless N 150 Pico USB Adapter - Driver Download. Vendor: D-Link Corporation.
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:
Development Board | USB Driver | Remarks |
---|---|---|
Programmer board (w/o ESP32) | ||
n/a | Use with ESP-Prog | |
n/a | Use with ESP-Prog |
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
USB to UART bridge of ESP32-DevKitC in Windows Device Manager¶
Two USB Serial Ports of ESP-WROVER-KIT in Windows Device Manager¶
Check port on Linux and macOS¶
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 runningls/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.
If you got here from Step 6. Connect Your Device when installing s/w for ESP32 development, then you can continue with Step 7. Configure.
Here you can download the latest versions of our automotive diagnostics software. If you do not yet have a PicoScope you can still download the software free of charge and run it in demo mode. Our development team are working hard to release regular updates to PicoScope 7 Automotive and PicoDiagnostics with additional features and support for future automotive PicoScope products and kits. A list of supported scope models is below:
PicoScope 3223 • PicoScope 3423 • PicoScope 4223 • PicoScope 4423 • PicoScope 4823 • PicoScope 4225 • PicoScope 4425 • PicoScope 4225A • PicoScope 4425A
Note: Test & Measurement scopes such as the PicoScope 2000 Series are not supported within our Automotive software.
PicoScope Automotive 7 beta
Before you download PicoScope 6, why not consider also downloading PicoScope 7?
Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, PicoScope 7 Automotive beta gives an insight into the evolution of our diagnostic scope software. With an easy-to-use interface designed for both traditional and touchscreen use, PicoScope 7 will be replacing PicoScope 6 in the future.
Please note at this time PicoDiagnostics is not downloaded alongside the PicoScope 7 Automotive beta. To access any .pddata files you have please download PicoDiagnostics as part of the PicoScope 6 Automotive software further down this page.

Please note that there is currently a difference in the way that PicoScope 6 and PicoScope 7 handle the new PicoScope 4425A and 4225A models.
Generally .psdata file can be opened in both PicoScope 6 and PicoScope 7.
However, if the file has been saved in PicoScope 7, using a 4425A/4225A, then PicoScope 6 cannot recognise the Probe settings.
In order to open such a file correctly in PicoScope 6, you will need to remove any connected PicoScope device and then run with demo mode.
