Datasheet
Now click through the setup pages, read and accept the license agreement, etc. to install the driver. The aren't any configuration
or setup options you need to change or worry about in the installation.
Once the installation is done you might need to reboot your machine if the installation program tells you to do so.
After rebooting, plug in the FT232H breakot to your PC using a USB micro cable. You should see a message pop up that the
device is recognized and a driver is being installed.
To check that the serial port installed successfully and find the COM port assigned to it, open device manager by clicking the start
menu and searching for Device Manager.
Inside device manager look under the Ports (COM & LPT) node and you should see a USB Serial Port (COMx) device, where x
is a number like 5. This COMx is the COM port assigned to the FT232H serial UART, and what you should use when connecting
to the serial port in the Arduino IDE or with a serial terminal program.
However if for some reason you don't see the USB Serial Port (COMx) device or Ports (COM & LPT) node, you might need to
enable the VCP mode for the FTDI device. To do this open the Universal Serial Bus controllers node at the bottom of Device
Manager and you should see a USB Serial Converter node. Right click this node and click the Properties menu, then click the
Advanced tab at the top. Make sure the Load VCP checkbox is checked and then click OK. See the picture below for the
configuration page and device manager view you should see.
