FAQ
Question: What if the computer cannot detect the device?
- UnitV may not work without drivers on some systems. Users can manually install the FTDI driver ( https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ ) to fix this issue. For example, in a Win10 environment, download the driver file matching the operating system, extract it, and install it via the Device Manager. (Note: In some system environments, the driver may need to be installed twice to take effect. The unrecognized device name is usually M5Stack or Serial. Windows recommends using the driver file for direct installation in the Device Manager (custom update), as the executable installation method may not work properly.)
